Celtics News: Jayson Tatum Won't Play in 2018 NBA Summer League Games

JUNE 07, 2018
Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge announced Wednesday small forward Jayson Tatum won't take part in the 2018 NBA Summer League following his standout rookie season.
Ainge called the idea of having Tatum play in the offseason development games "crazy," per Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald.
"Jayson is gonna get better, and that's what it is all about," Ainge said. "He has a plan with the coaching staff, and another with the fitness staff, and we'll go from there. We just want him to get better in everything. There are things he can get better at, and he knows what those things are. I'd just rather not say what we've talked about privately."

Not that it means anything, but I expect the Suns to dominate SL

@Morethan1 what happened to the Orlando summer league?
They wanted to condense and have all teams in Vegas. Really not sure why they're having Sacramento and Utah SL when everyone will be in Vegas.

I didn't expect Tatum to play. I'm surprised Jackson is playing for the Suns.
