Boston Celtics All-Star small forward Jayson Tatum‘s Lion King lunch box is for none other than his son, Deuce.

After the Celtics lost Game 4 on Saturday to the Toronto Raptors, Tatum explained to reporters why he's carrying around a Lion King lunch box at Disney World, via John Karalis of Mass Live.

“Deuce loves animals, he loves Lion King, and I always carry my food into the game,” Jayston Tatum said.

“So it’s just a little something that when he sees the pictures, he’ll see that daddy had a Lion King lunch box.”

NBA players are allowed to have family members in the bubble now. Tatum recently told Celtics reporters his mom will likely bring Deuce to the Disney bubble if the Celtics advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Boston had a 2-0 lead on the Raptors in the best-of-seven series, but now the series is tied after Toronto won Games 3 and 4. Tatum and the Celtics have to bounce back in Game 5 to regain the momentum of the series.

The Celtics lost in the second round of the 2019 playoffs after taking a 1-0 lead on the Milwaukee Bucks. It would certainly be devastating for Tatum and Co. to blow a 2-0 lead to the Raptors this time around, so expect Boston to come out like gangbusters in Game 5.

Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kemba Walker must play like All-Stars moving forward for the Celtics to defeat the defending champions.
