Al Horford calls out Magic player over Jayson Tatum's injury

Tatum returned to the game, which was a positive sign. Head coach Joe Mazzulla also told reporters afterward that Tatum's wrist was fine.

Despite that, the Celtics have listed Tatum as doubtful for Game 2 on Wednesday night because of a right distal radius bone bruise.

Horford seemed openly upset after Tatum was fouled by Caldwell-Pope. The 38-year-old was asked on Tuesday if he felt there was "something extra" behind the foul. Horford emphatically replied "yes."

"There was something extra. It was about the second or third time that, especially KCP, went at him in that way," Horford said. "It was all about checking on my guy and making sure he was fine, and that's over with."

Caldwell-Pope also committed a hard foul on Tatum very early in the game. It is possible that is one of the plays that Horford referenced on Tuesday.

Either way, Horford seems to think the wrist injury was avoidable.

Now that Tatum is in danger of missing Game 2, Celtics players will probably be even more irritated about the foul from Caldwell-Pope. That will be something to monitor going forward in the series.
