Jayson Tatum’s mother, Brandy Cole, expressed frustration over her son’s limited playing time in Team USA’s 95-91 victory against Serbia. Steve Kerr decided not to put Tatum on the court for the second time in the Olympics.
“Someone pls let me know is @jaytatum0 injured as he hasn’t received the PT (playing time) you would expect an All NBA player to get,” Dick Vitale tweeted.
“No he’s not,” Cole responded. “But if you find out what’s going on please let me know – unacceptable and makes NO SENSE.”
Cole also shared a reposted message from X, “If Kerr is watching this and willingly deciding ‘Yeah, Jayson Tatum couldn’t help here’ then he legitimately cannot coach in 2028,” originally written by Barstool Sports’ Dan Greenberg.
