Trae Young drops 2 word prayer for Celtics’ $313,933,410 star’s unfortunate injury

Trae Young was one of the NBA stars reacting to Jayson Tatum's tough injury after he landed awkwardly on Domantas Sabonis' foot on Monday. His scary ankle injury in the third quarter was a cause for concern as he was helped to the locker room. Sabonis was handed a flagrant 1 for the foul.

Tatum's injury saw him in need of support to walk as he tended to his left ankle. Head coach Joe Mazzulla called for an additional timeout after the foul review to give his superstar some time to recover. Sabonis appeared to offer an apology as well and the forward walked back to the court to shoot his free throws. He was seen heading to the locker room later.

Trae Young had a two-word response to the whole incident:

"🙏🏽🙏🏽 my brother"

The final scorecard saw the Celtics beat the Kings 113-95. The win sees Boston improve to 53-19 in the East. Jayson Tatum finished his evening with 25 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists.

Domantas Sabonis apologizes for Jayson Tatum's injury

Speaking to the reporters postgame, Domantas Sabonis issued a heartfelt apology to Jayson Tatum after their tangle resulted in the latter suffering an ankle injury.

"I feel horrible. I've had a crazy month myself, personally, and you never want that to happen. So, I apologize."

Sabonis was at the receiving end from Celtics faithful on social media, but his latest remarks show quality sportsmanship and character. The hope now will be that Tatum's injury is not long-term and as serious as it looked. The Celtics will need their star to be ready for the playoffs as Boston looks ready to finish as the No. 2 seed.

As for Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks, their playoff hopes are in their own hands as they look to get past the 35-26 record and avoid the play-in.
