Late in Team USA’s victory over Turkey, THIS happened:

Ouch. Sprained ankles usually look worse and that’s the case here.
Jayson Tatum said his ankle is already feeling better. He left arena wearing a shoe and didn’t have a bad limp.

About 20 minutes after his ankle injury, Jayson Tatum texted Brad Stevens, who is in Boston, and told him the injury didn't appear to be serious. #Celtics #TeamUSA

But… what does Tatum do? If he’s already in a shoe and walking without much of a limp, does he continuing playing (after a few days of rest)?
Or does he pack it up and fly back to the US to ensure he’s 100% healthy for the regular season?
I’m guessing this decision will be made tomorrow once the ankle is re-examined.
