CLEVELAND — Jayson Tatum did not initially expect his mother, Brandy Cole-Barnes, to be at the Boston Celtics’ game Sunday afternoon. Though she is a regular presence at home games, she hasn’t always traveled on the road. Her text message in the morning, letting Tatum know she would be attending the game, caught her son by surprise.

After a 10-month layoff, the Celtics star returned with a near triple-double in a Boston victory to begin another chapter in his brilliant career.

As Jayson Tatum continues his comeback with the Celtics, he gives credit to his mother for her consistent support.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum will be under a heavy minutes restriction for several weeks after returning from an Achilles injury.
