BOSTON - Celtics star Jayson Tatum has been listed as "doubtful" for Game 2 of Boston's National Basketball Association (NBA) first-round playoff series against the Orlando Magic with a bone bruise in his right wrist.

The forward was injured late in the team's Game 1 victory on April 20, coming down hard under the basket after he was fouled in the air by Orlando guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

Caldwell-Pope was called for a flagrant foul and Tatum remained on the court for several minutes, although he stayed in the game and said immediately after the contest that X-rays were negative.

However, Tatum's participation in practice on April 22 was limited and coach Joe Mazzulla said that the player's status was "day to day".

The Celtics host Game 2 of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series on April 23 (April 24, Singapore time).
