Jayson Tatum left the Boston Celtics‘ 130-108 Game 2 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday after getting poked in the eye and did not return.
The club didn’t release any further details about the injury, which Tatum sustained at the hands of Kevin Durant near the nine-minute mark of the third quarter when the Nets star swiped for the ball after the Celtics forward stole a rebound.

Tatum immediately crumpled to the floor in pain, clutching his face and went straight to the locker room.
Tatum has reportedly also been dealing with a groin injury, which he played through in a 104-92 Game 1 loss to the Nets.
The Nets lead the first-round playoff series 2-0.
