Hot take: Summoning sickness barely slows ya down. As long as you're not attacking or tapping for an ability, tap those creatures all you want. Who's gonna stop you, the Magic police?

Yes, you can tap a creature with summoning sickness in Magic The Gathering! Summoning sickness only prevents creatures from attacking or using abilities that require tapping as a cost, unless they have haste. If an effect or ability from another card says to tap a creature you control, summoning sickness doesn't stop you from tapping it.

Nope, summoning sickness is like that one rule everyone forgets until it ruins their big play. But! If you're just tapping the creature because a card says so (and not to attack or use a tap ability), then summoning sickness doesn't matter. Tap away!
