Celtics forward Jayson Tatum worked out with his Team USA teammates for the first time on Tuesday. He also worked with new C's head coach Ime Udoka, who is once again an assistant for Gregg Popovich's Team USA staff.

Check out the fourth photo in the below Instagram post to get the first glimpse at Tatum working directly with Udoka since the latter was hired as Celtics head coach:

Tatum was also spotted working directly with Team USA teammate Bradley Beal. Many Celtics fans may be hoping that this is the beginning of Tatum's recruiting pitch for Beal to sign with Boston - and that it is not the start of Tatum being recruited to play anywhere else.
