Digest more
The 27-year-old Tatum tore his right Achilles tendon on Monday night against the New York Knicks when he lunged toward a loose ball and his leg gave out. He buried his face in a towel in obvious pain while grabbing at his leg above the ankle after the non-contact injury.
MRI revealed the Celtics' worst fear, that their franchise cornerstone ruptured his Achilles in Monday's Game 4 loss.
