Jayson Tatum has shared a picture from his hospital bed as he begins the long road to recovery from his sickening Achilles tear.
Tatum tore his right Achilles tendon on Monday night against the [New York Knicks](/sport/new-york-knicks/index.html) when he lunged toward a loose ball and his leg gave out.
After writing on the floor in agont, he buried his face in a towel before needing a wheelchair to make it back to the locker room.
He underwent surgery, the Celtics announced on Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoon the 27-year-old himself spoke out.
He captioned a thumbs-up picture from his hospital bed by saying: 'Thankful for all the love and support.'
