Has Celtics burned down his Achilles? – NBC Boston

Many Boston Celtics fans feel injured not only with a defeat after the Matchup on Monday evening against the New York Knicks, but also for the star player Jayson Tatum.

The Celtics have lost 121-113 and now they have to win the series.

Tatum had a great night, scored 42 points, scored Clutch shots – and fought for the Celtics again in the fourth quarter. But when he suddenly went down, walked in pain and clutched on his right ankle – it immediately looked bad.

Tatum had to be helped and there was no weight on his right leg when he went off. He was asked by the square and in the tunnel in a wheelchair and covered his face – clearly in pain and clearly upset.

“Our best player has just been injured, that's crazy, we're done, it's over for us, that's it,” said Fan James Doyle.

Fans who observed the injury in real time were shocked.

“Destroyed, disappointed, destroyed, I have the feeling that my heart just went out,” said another fan, Brian Privet. “Only sad, unfortunate loss. I felt that it ran great in the first half and was simply injured in the second, but what will you do?”

There was still no update about Jayson Tatum Status, but it will probably have a big influence on Wednesday evening at home. Tatum receives an MRI on Tuesday after the non -contact violation.

Game 5 will now be a must for the Celtics.

It can be done-the last team that came back from a 3-1 deficit was the Denver Nuggets in 2020.
