The courtroom is the other way around, Jayson Tatum.
The Celtics star was caught repeatedly staring into the stands for an extended period of time during his team's 110-97 loss to the Raptors on Wednesday.
Three women were standing in the direction Tatum was looking at.
A fan who taped Tatum said he was betting on the Celtics star, but Tatum seemed frustrated by the distraction. One of the video's captions read, “My brother froze.”
“Brother, what are we doing? Lock up the gang. The point tonight is we need you, brother. That's not it, come on,” he said, pointing at the women.
“He's still looking, brother. Look at this, caught red-handed, caught red-handed. Oh my god, he's still going. I don't know what to say. Surprised. I did.”

Tatum struggled in the loss, scoring 16 points on 5-of-15 from the field, which is below his average of 27.8 points per game. The Raptors are one of the worst teams in the NBA at 10-31, just ahead of the Wizards at 6-33.
Two days later, after the Celtics' 121-94 win over the Magic, Tatum was asked after the game about the constant taunts he received from opposing teams and fans on social media.
“I don't know. I think I'm a big guy,” Tatum said as he stepped off the podium.
The defending champion Celtics are 29-12 this season.
Tatum and girlfriend singer Ella Mai welcomed their first child together In August.
Tatum also has a 7-year-old son with Toria Rachelle.
