This past Monday, Boston’s Jayson Tatum was trying to will the Celtics to a win. He finished the game with 42 points and seven three-pointers.
However, the 27-year-old ruptured his Achilles late in the fourth quarter. A devastating blow to the Celtics’ chance of repeating as NBA champions. Despite losing Tatum for the rest of the 2025 playoffs, there’s a small amount of optimism moving forward. Jayson Tatum was able to have surgery on his ruptured Achilles just hours after the injury. Doctors said this is a “rare” turnaround that benefits Tatum.
