In four Olympic appearances, Tatum averaged just 5.3 points in 17.7 minutes per game on 38.1% shooting from the field. Only Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton appeared in fewer games (three) over Team USA's run to the gold medal.

The Celtics and Warriors have quietly formed quite a rivalry over the past few years. In 2022, Golden State vanquished Boston in six games, securing the franchise's fourth ring of the Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr era.

So, no, Steve Kerr doesn’t regret his decision to drastically reduce Jayson Tatum’s playing time in Paris. Tatum saw the second-fewest minutes of any U.S. players and did not play in two of the team’s six games, including its dramatic semifinal win over Serbia.
