The suspension, announced by the NBA’s disciplinary board, comes after Tatum reportedly failed a random drug test administered earlier this week. While the specific substance has not been officially disclosed, insiders suggest it falls under the league’s performance-enhancing drug (PED) category, triggering an automatic indefinite suspension pending further investigation.
Tatum, 27, has been a cornerstone of the Celtics’ roster and was instrumental in their recent championship run. The news has left fans, teammates, and analysts stunned.
The Boston Celtics organization released a brief statement:
> “We are aware of the league’s decision regarding Jayson Tatum. While we await further details, our focus remains on supporting our players and cooperating fully with league officials.”
Tatum’s representatives have not yet commented, but a press conference is expected later today.
