The Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum has been ruled out for the remainder of the playoffs due to a torn right Achilles tendon, confirmed by the team after he underwent surgery. Tatum sustained the injury in the final minutes of Game 4 against the New York Knicks, where he was seen in pain before being carried off the court; he had scored 42 points in that game and was averaging 25 points and 11.8 rebounds in the series. While Tatum’s return timeline is uncertain, he is expected to recover fully, although he may miss significant time next season.
