Jayson Tatum joined Drake onstage at TD Garden concert
The Boston crowd enjoyed Tatum's unexpected cameo.
The Revolution scored a pair of early goals and held on for a 2-1 win over Atlanta United on Wednesday. With the win, New England moved into second place in the Eastern Conference.
Also from Wednesday, the Celtics rallied to defeat the Lakers 95-90 in NBA Summer League action.
Tomorrow, the Red Sox return from the All-Star break, beginning a three-game series at Wrigley Field against the Cubs.
Jayson Tatum joined Drake onstage: During Drake’s Wednesday concert at TD Garden, he brought a special guest onstage that struck a particularly popular note with the local crowd: Jayson Tatum.
It produced a predictable roar of approval:
“I got my brother Jayson Tatum with me,” Drake told the crowd.
Tatum was fittingly introduced to the soundtrack of Drake’s “Look What You Done.”
Tatum was even seen dancing a bit in a luxury suite at TD Garden, moving particularly to Drake’s hit songs “Way 2 Sexy” and “Headlines.”
It’s already been a busy offseason for the Celtics, with the team making several consequential moves (and reportedly making progress toward signing Jaylen Brown to a contract extension).
But before Tatum and the Celtics begin the grind of an NBA season again, the team’s 25-year-old superstar was able to enjoy a night at his home arena from the more relaxed perspective of simply being a fan.
Trivia: Drake shares a birthday (Oct. 24) with what former Patriots standout? (Today is a particularly good day to use the hint, obviously).
(Answer at the bottom).
Hint: He totaled over 11,000 rushing yards in his career, helping the Patriots win Super Bowl XXXIX.

Jordan Walsh’s big night: The Celtics rookie has made a strong early impression, leading Boston’s comeback win over the Lakers on Wednesday with 25 points and eight rebounds.
On this day: In 1999, Pedro Martinez left an iconic impression on the MLB All-Star Game, striking out five in two innings (the sixth out was recorded when American League catcher Ivan Rodriguez completed a strikeout-throw-out double play).
Held at Fenway Park, the American League — with Martinez as MVP — defeated the National League 4-1.
Daily highlight: Matt Polster opened the scoring for the Revolution on Wednesday night with a well-placed rocket.
