Despite a disappointing season for the Boston Celtics in 2020-21, All-Star Jayson Tatum was surely the bright spot, proving himself as one of the best young players in the entire league.
In his fourth season in Boston, Tatum averaged career-high’s across the board with 26.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. The Duke Blue Devil made his second All-Star appearance and just missed All-NBA honors.
Tatum had several memorable games this season, including three 50+ points performances (four if you count the play-in tournament). Two of those performances came in the regular season, including a career-high 60 points on April 30 against the San Antonio Spurs, which tied Larry Bird’s franchise record. In Game 3 of the first round series against the Brooklyn Nets, Tatum dropped 50 points, dragging the Celtics to their only win of the series.
