According to Jayson Tatum, NBA insider leaves light on Celtics' changing room

A third semi -finals of the Eastern Conference against the Knicks was not the most crushing blow that Celtics had negotiated on Monday evening.

Just a few minutes before Boston's defeat in game 4 in Madison Square Garden, Jayson Tatum off with a very serious injury with a lower leg. The disease will deal with a lot of certainty for the rest of these NBA playoffs, and it could also require a serious tribute very well in the 2025-26 season.

As you can imagine, the reigning NBA champions were quite shaken by their leader and left the arena in a wheelchair.

“Our Tim Bontemps was after the game in the Celtics converting room. He said it was the quietest changing room he had ever heard,” said Brian Windhorst of Espn after the game. “You obviously know that the rest of this series is of course serious.”

While the Celtics players were primarily concerned that Tatum's well-being was played after the game, they managed to recognize the respective task. Boston still has a life in this set in the second round, and with TD Garden Hosting Game 5, the group of Joe Mazzulla is able to extend the series at least Friday.

It will obviously not be easy without Tatum. But if practically everyone counts them, the Celtics may find a kind of border in the adversity.
