Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is doubtful to play Wednesday night due to an ankle injury when Boston visits the Phoenix Suns. The fact Tatum wasn't declared out -- leaving open the possibility he could play -- suggests the six-time All-Star dodged a serious injury. Tatum sprained his left ankle during Monday's 113-95 victory over the host Sacramento Kings. Tatum canned a 3-pointer with 3:35 left in the third quarter and landed on the foot of Sacramento star Domantas Sabonis ..read more

The 2008 Cardinals lost by 40 points to a backup quarterback in New England, an effort that had Kurt Warner shaking his head in disgust. The Suns are flirting with their own happy ending.

Durant (h/t Duane Rankin of azcentral): "It's always fun competing against one of the best to ever play.
