In a stunning development that’s sent shockwaves through the NBA and left Celtics fans reeling, Boston Celtics power forward Jayson Tatum has reportedly been suspended indefinitely from professional basketball after testing positive for a banned substance, league sources confirmed just minutes ago.Details are still emerging, but early reports indicate that the 4-time All-Star underwent a routine drug screening earlier this month, and the results, which were received today, allegedly flagged a substance prohibited under the NBA’s anti-doping policy.
The NBA has yet to issue an official statement, and Tatum’s representatives have not responded to media inquiries. However, sources close to the organization suggest the league is treating the matter with “utmost seriousness.”
This news comes just weeks ahead of the preseason opener, throwing the Celtics’ championship hopes into uncertainty.
