Rutgers star Ace Bailey models his offensive game after a trio of standout NBA scorers. At the NBA draft combine, Bailey cited the Philadelphia 76ers' Paul George and Boston Celtics' Jayson Tatum as inspirations for their shot creation. He also loves the mid-range ability of Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant:

In his lone year at Rutgers, Bailey averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks a game, shooting 46% from the field and 34.6% from three. If all goes right for him, his scoring abilities as a wing could lead to a career much like Tatum's or Durant's.

Jayson Tatum’s ruptured Achilles is expected to sideline him through at least the end of 2025, according to a new report. ESPN’s Marc Spears on Wednesday reported Tatum’s father, Justin, expects the Celtics superstar to miss “eight to nine months.” An eight-month recovery would have him back on the court in mid-January.

Charles Barkley knows who Jayson Tatum's first call should be when it comes to rehabbing a ruptured Achilles tendon.

These are the NBA playoffs of survival, where not even the stars are safe. The latest huge blow to this postseason: Jayson Tatum was wheeled off Monday night, with every preliminary indication there being that he won’t be around to finish this season with the defending champion Boston Celtics.

Jayson Tatum’s potentially serious lower left leg injury cast a pall over the second round. Tatum collapsed to the ground in the fourth quarter of the Celtics’ Game 4 loss to the New York Knicks and had to be carried off the court after he was writhing in pain and grabbing at the back of his ankle.

Jayson Tatum went down with a potentially severe right leg injury, as the Knicks secured a victory over the Celtics on Monday.
