It looked like Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum suffered a catastrophic injury late in the fourth quarter of Game 4 against the New York Knicks on Monday night.
The Celtics confirmed as much Tuesday evening.
The Celtics released a statement that Tatum did in fact rupture his right Achilles tendon, which not only ends this season for the 27-year-old forward but also puts his availability for the 2025-26 campaign in doubt as well.
“Celtics forward Jayson Tatum today underwent successful surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon,” the Celtics said in a statement. “No timetable is currently available for his return, but he is expected to make a full recovery. Further updates will be provided when appropriate.”
