Jayson Tatum opened his eighth NBA season on a high note. While focused on the Boston Celtics' title defense bid this season, he is also not taking time with his son Deuce for granted. Though basketball is a big part of his life, spending time with his son remains a priority.
On Oct. 27, the Celtics star posted a picture of his son dressed in his Halloween costume. In the picture, Deuce is seen in his Venom costume, with a Beetlejuice dummy in the background.
Tatum had Deuce with his high school girlfriend Toriah Lachell. He was born on Dec. 6, 2017, shortly after Tatum was drafted by the Boston Celtics. The father-son duo has become a common sight on the basketball court. Deuce is often seen cheering his father during games.
