Team USA survived a scare against Turkey on Tuesday morning at the 2019 FIBA World Cup.
But more concerning for Boston Celtics fans was the injury scare involving forward Jayson Tatum.
In overtime of Team USA's eventual 93-92 win over Turkey in Shanghai, Tatum appeared to roll his left ankle while passing to Khris Middleton in the lane.

Tatum was slow to get up and had to helped off the court by trainers.
The 21-year-old's pass helped Team USA earn the win, as Middleton was fouled with two seconds remaining in overtime and hit both free throws to give the Americans the win.
