from 2020-23forward jayson tatum and grant williams They were teammates on the Boston Celtics and won the Eastern Conference Championship together. However, Williams ultimately left the organization as a restricted free agent after the 2022-23 season, missing out on a chance to win last season’s NBA title with the C’s.
And oh, was that obvious jealousy on display during Friday night’s game? Celtics and Charlotte HornetsWilliams is currently playing. (Related article: Magic hit hard: Paolo Banchero will be out for 4-6 weeks with right oblique tear)
With just over two minutes left in the game, Boston held a 114-105 lead. At that moment, Tatum was trying to grab a defensive rebound and take the ball to the other side of the court, but as the C’s superstar circled the midcourt line, Williams lunged at him, giving him a burst and putting him on the wrong side of the court.

Williams was ejected from the game. 2 flagrant fouls.
