Jason Tatum was once again benched by Steve Kerr after a huge win for Team USA in the Paris Olympics and everyone wants answers, especially Jayson's mom. Brandy Cole wants to know why is that her son did not have minutes in the comeback victory against Serbia, by a score of 95-91.

Cole went on to post on social media her concern after Tatum did not play for a second time in the Paris Summer Games. ESPN's Dick Vitale posted his thoughts on the matter and Brandy Cole replied to that "tweet" and now everyone is talking about it.

"Someone pls let me know is @jaytatum0 injured as he hasn't received the PT ( playing time ) u would expect an All NBA player to get," Vitale wrote, and the player's mom replied. "No he not," Cole replied. "But if you find out what's going on please let me know - unacceptable and makes NO SENSE."

That was not the only message posted by her

Brandy Cole did not hold back on this matter as she once again took to her X account to express implicitly again some hard comments on head coach Steve Kerr, after reposting a message on the platform.

"If Kerr is watching this and willingly deciding 'Yeah, Jayson Tatum couldn't help here' then he legitimately cannot coach in 2028," by Barstool Sports' Dan Greenberg. Head coach Steve Kerr said "it's just a math problem" trying to decide who's going to play.

The Golden State Warriors leader tried to go deeper on that. "It's not about anything Jayson is doing or not doing," Kerr said. "It's just about combinations and the way that group has played together, the way Kevin (Durant) has filled in since he came back from his injury. It's just a math problem more than anything."
