• Sabonis was assessed a flagrant 1 foul for the play and later apologized, expressing regret for the incident.
• Tatum is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns as the Celtics prioritize his recovery to ensure readiness for the postseason.
• Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla and reports suggest the injury is not severe, with Tatum seen walking without crutches or a protective boot postgame.
