Gary Washburn: Ty Lue, an assistant on the Team USA staff and Jayson Tatum’s cousin, said this about Tatum’s Olympic DNPs: “It’s hard to see him the way he felt. I know he wanted to play and being All-NBA three years in a row and the type of player he’s become since he’s got in the league, I know it’s tough for him. My job as a coach and a family member is to make sure he stayed positive. Make sure his head was in it. It was a tough moment. You don’t want to see anyone go through that. We won the Gold. I was happy for him, the way he handled himself as a professional. It was a tough situation for him.” #Celtics #Clippers
