In a different context, Jayson Tatum had surgery after rupturing his right Achilles tendon in Game 4 of the Boston Celtics' series against the New York Knicks. The injury happened in the game's closing minutes. He will miss the rest of the playoffs and possibly the entire next season due to the injury, but he is expected to fully recover.

It is anticipated that Tatum would miss the majority of the upcoming season. The franchise decided to move Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday to get the team's salary under the luxury tax second penalty threshold. After the incident, a bunch of JT’s old teammates have taken to his comments to express their support and offer some humorous advice as he attempts to recuperate. Additionally, many players and fans are excited to see him fully recover and return to the court.Also read: LeBron James once made Jayson Tatum cry, and it was not on court
