The Celtics overcame a disappointing Game 4 and a season-ending Jayson Tatum injury as they beat the New York Knicks, 127-102, in Boston Wednesday evening.
Jayson Tatum was ruled out for the remainder of the NBA Playoffs and beyond after suffering a ruptured Achilles in the final minutes of Game 4. The former Duke standout underwent surgery the very next day (Tuesday) and will start the long recovery process.
Speaking ahead of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Joe Mazzulla mapped out the Celtics' mindset after Jayson Tatum's injury.
Jayson Tatum’s ruptured Achilles is expected to sideline him through at least the end of 2025, according to a new report. ESPN’s Marc Spears on Wednesday reported Tatum’s father, Justin, expects the Celtics superstar to miss “eight to nine months.” An eight-month recovery would have him back on the court in mid-January.
A six-time All-Star, Tatum had an emotional conversation with his father after tearing his Achilles tendon. Spears revealed the details of the talk on NBA Today with Malika Andrews of ESPN.
