Haynes: Jayson Tatum out against Argentina due to right knee soreness

The first time Olympian will miss tonight’s exhibition against Argentina due to right knee soreness.

Following an 0-2 start for Team USA in their exhibition schedule prior to leaving for the Tokyo Olympics, Celtics All-Star Jayson Tatum has hit the injury report.

Reported by Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, Tatum will miss Team USA’s third exhibition game tonight against Argentina due to right knee soreness and will be listed as day-to-day.

Tatum came off the bench last night against Australia after starting in Team USA’s first exhibition loss to Nigeria on Saturday. The Celtics All-Star struggled against the Boomers, shooting just 4/12 for 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists.
