Jayson Tatum’s Achilles surgery puts both the hopes of the Boston Celtics repeating and Tatum’s playing status for next season in doubt.

In their first game since star Jayson Tatum ruptured his right Achilles tendon in Game 4, the Boston Celtics orchestrated a huge second-half performance to stave off elimination against the New York Knicks.

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.
