Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum was able to laugh off an incident that took place following Friday’s 123-119 win over the Chicago Bulls.
Tatum was seated for his postgame press conference when the advertising backdrop behind him started to collapse. Tatum flinched and covered his head, even though the lightweight backdrop was not going to cause him any harm.

You can’t blame Tatum. He probably didn’t know exactly what was happening behind him, so he reacted naturally. He obviously wasn’t hurt, which saved him from dethroning this injury as the weirdest of the young NBA season.
