The Boston Celtics star was ruled out for the rest of the playoffs with a torn right Achilles tendon, the team announced. Tatum underwent surgery on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after he initially sustained the injury. A timeline for his return is not yet known, but he is expected to make a full recovery.
There is not word as of yet exactly what the injury is, but based on the fact that it was non-contact, and Tatum was wheeled to the locker room holding the back of his ankle, there is a belief that it is something to do with his Achilles tendon. After the game, notable Celtics fan Bill Simmons reacted on his live podcast.
