Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum has surgery to repair ruptured Achilles tendon

On Tuesday, Jayson Tatum had an operation to fix a torn right Achilles tendon he suffered during Game 4 against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
The Celtics announced the injury a day after their 121-113 loss and confirmed the non-contact injury will sideline Tatum for the remainder of the playoffs.
At 27 years old, the six-time All-Star was averaging 28.1 points and 5.4 assists this postseason and was carried off the court after his leg gave out pursuing a loose ball.
The Celtics confirmed Tatum's surgery was successful but gave no timetable for his return, with a full recovery expected citing precedents like Kevin Durant's Achilles comeback.
Tatum’s injury casts doubt on Boston’s 2025 title chances and may force significant roster changes affecting salary cap and long-term competitiveness.
