The Boston Celtics fans received shocking news on Tuesday as Jayson Tatum suffered a season-ending injury.
According to Shams Charania, Jayson Tatum has already underwent surgery to repair a torn right Achilles tendon. Tatum will certainly miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season, while, typically, the rehab process for this type of injury takes up to 9-12 months.
The Celtics are one loss away from suffering a second-round exit in the series against the Knicks. The Celtics star was carried off the court during the fourth quarter of Boston’s 121-113 loss in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Monday night.
He averaged 26.1 points and 12.0 rebounds in the postseason and missed one previous playoff game until suffering an non-contact injury on Monday’s contest.
