Less <\/span>than <\/span>24 <\/span>hours <\/span>later, <\/span>Tatum <\/span>underwent <\/span>surgery <\/span>in <\/span>Boston\u2014<\/span>a <\/span>move <\/span>medical <\/span>experts <\/span>say <\/span>could <\/span>improve <\/span>his <\/span>long-<\/span>term <\/span>recovery <\/span>outlook. <\/span>While <\/span>the <\/span>team <\/span>has <\/span>yet <\/span>to <\/span>release <\/span>a <\/span>detailed <\/span>timeline <\/span>for <\/span>his <\/span>return, <\/span>doctors <\/span>expect <\/span>the <\/span>27-<\/span>year-<\/span>old <\/span>to <\/span>make <\/span>a <\/span>full <\/span>recovery. <\/span>Tatum <\/span>had <\/span>been <\/span>a <\/span>powerhouse <\/span>throughout <\/span>the <\/span>playoffs, <\/span>and <\/span>his <\/span>absence <\/span>leaves <\/span>a <\/span>major <\/span>hole <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>Celtics\u2019 <\/span>championship <\/span>hopes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Celtics <\/span>veteran <\/span>Al <\/span>Horford <\/span>spoke <\/span>emotionally <\/span>after <\/span>the <\/span>game about the incident, <\/span>saying, <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, the loss is the loss. More importantly, you know, it\u2019s Jayson and that\u2019s what I\u2019m worried about. And I\u2019m just making sure I\u2019m there for him. That\u2019s my priority \u2026 It\u2019s very concerning, just from, you know, the care that I have for him. What he means to us. What he means to Boston.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What Does This Mean For Him And The Celtics?<\/h3>\n

The <\/span>injury <\/span>happened <\/span>late <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>game <\/span>when <\/span>Tatum <\/span>rolled <\/span>his <\/span>ankle <\/span>while awkwardly <\/span>chasing <\/span>a <\/span>loose <\/span>ball. <\/span>He <\/span>collapsed <\/span>to <\/span>the <\/span>floor <\/span>in <\/span>visible <\/span>pain <\/span>and <\/span>had <\/span>to <\/span>be <\/span>carried <\/span>off <\/span>by <\/span>trainers, <\/span>later <\/span>being <\/span>wheeled <\/span>into <\/span>the <\/span>locker <\/span>room. <\/span>Tatum <\/span>had <\/span>already <\/span>put <\/span>up <\/span>42 <\/span>points <\/span>before <\/span>the <\/span>injury. <\/span>Celtics <\/span>coach <\/span>Joe <\/span>Mazzulla <\/span>initially <\/span>labeled <\/span>it <\/span>a \u201c<\/span>lower <\/span>body <\/span>injury,\u201d <\/span>but <\/span>an <\/span>MRI <\/span>on <\/span>Tuesday <\/span>confirmed <\/span>the <\/span>torn <\/span>Achilles.<\/span><\/p>\n

This <\/span>isn\u2019t <\/span>just <\/span>a <\/span>blow <\/span>to <\/span>the <\/span>Celtics\u2019 <\/span>title <\/span>hopes\u2014<\/span>it\u2019s <\/span>a <\/span>major <\/span>setback <\/span>for <\/span>one <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>NBA\u2019s <\/span>brightest <\/span>stars. <\/span>Tatum <\/span>was <\/span>averaging <\/span>25 <\/span>points <\/span>and <\/span>11.8 <\/span>rebounds <\/span>during <\/span>the <\/span>series <\/span>and <\/span>had <\/span>just <\/span>wrapped <\/span>a <\/span>strong <\/span>regular <\/span>season <\/span>with <\/span>26.8 <\/span>points <\/span>per <\/span>game. <\/span>The <\/span>26-<\/span>year-<\/span>old <\/span>signed <\/span>a $<\/span>315 <\/span>million <\/span>supermax <\/span>deal <\/span>last <\/span>summer <\/span>after <\/span>helping <\/span>Boston <\/span>secure <\/span>an <\/span>NBA <\/span>championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

While <\/span>the <\/span>team <\/span>figures <\/span>out <\/span>how <\/span>to <\/span>move <\/span>forward <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>postseason, <\/span>fans <\/span>are <\/span>already <\/span>bracing <\/span>for <\/span>Tatum <\/span>to potentially <\/span>miss <\/span>a <\/span>large <\/span>chunk <\/span>of <\/span>next <\/span>season. <\/span>Achilles <\/span>injuries <\/span>can <\/span>sideline <\/span>players <\/span>for <\/span>months, <\/span>if <\/span>not <\/span>longer.<\/span><\/p>\n
