Jayson Tatum sprains ankle in Team USA win

Left arena under his own power

Team USA escaped with an overtime win over Turkey in the basketball World Cup, but the 93-92 nail biter resulted in some bad news for former Duke standout Jayson Tatum.

Tatum, who scored 11 in the game, to go with a game-high 11 rebounds, sprained his left ankle while leading a fast break in the closing seconds.

Reports from Shanhai indicate that Tatum left the arena under his own power.

In an interview afterward, he said he "slipped a little bit" and rolled it. He also said it "feel(s) better."
