Jayson Tatum's mom got involved following another benching of her son at the Olympics.
While the United States national men's basketball team holds a spot in the gold medal game against France on Saturday, it hasn't come without some controversy. In the semi-final against Team Serbia, the Americans were forced to complete a massive 13-point comeback to secure the win.But for the second time at the Olympics, Boston Celtics All-NBA star forward Jayson Tatum didn't see a single second of action.
While Team USA has a ton of star power on it, Tatum's scoring ability could have been used against Serbia. He helped the Americans win the gold medal during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, so he has plenty of experience on this stage.After the first benching, Kerr said that he has struggled with the rotations of Team USA. Tatum is a first-class player on the Celtics, but within this group of players, he likely slots down toward the middle of the pack.
