US EditionCeltics star Tatum carried off floor with right leg injury
- Jayson Tatum sustained a severe lower right leg injury late in the fourth quarter of the Eastern Conference semifinals on May 12, 2025, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
- The injury happened after Tatum was fouled and landed awkwardly on a dunk attempt, forcing him to be carried off the court and unable to continue, with an MRI scheduled for Tuesday.
- Before the injury, Tatum scored a playoff-high 42 points while the Celtics lost 121-113 to the Knicks, falling behind 3-1 in the series and facing elimination in Game 5 at Boston.
- Coach Joe Mazzulla said, "we'll know tomorrow exactly what it is," and Kristaps Porzingis added, "we have to play with the hand we're dealt right now."
- Tatum's injury puts the Celtics’ title defense at risk and increases pressure on remaining players, who must perform without their leading scorer in the critical next game.
