Celtics worry about injured star's health and bouncing back against Knicks without him
-
BOSTON - If the Boston Celtics extend their season by beating the visiting New York Knicks in Game 5 of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Eastern Conference semi-finals on May 14 (May 15, Singapore time), they will do so without leading scorer Jayson Tatum.
The 27-year-old forward suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon in the final minutes of New York's 121-113 victory in Game 4 on May 12. He had surgery the following day and will miss the remainder of the playoffs.
The Celtics said the operation was a success, but the length of the recovery process remains unclear. Some reports said that Tatum could miss the entire 2025-26 season as well.
It is a scary thought for Boston, but they are focusing only on the immediate future.
"Get ready for the next one," fellow star man Jaylen Brown said.
"Get ready to fight. Get ready to come out on our home floor and do what we need to do. That's the goal. Still the goal. We've got enough in the locker room, so I believe in my guys."
