BOSTON — Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum was ejected from Friday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers for arguing a call at the end of the third quarter. Tatum had also picked up a technical in the first quarter. The four-time All-Star had 21 points, seven rebounds and four assists. He also had seven turnovers. With 2.1 seconds left in the third quarter and Boston up 95-94, he lost control of the ball along the sideline and hit Sixers forward Robert Covington in the face in the ensuing scramble. Tatum was whistled for a foul and argued the call extensively. He was ejected after he interrupted the referee huddle by the scorer's table.
