Jalen Brunson has a selection comment for Celtics' Jayson Tatum after an Achilles injury

The Boston Celtics are about to remove. You will do your best to keep your season alive on Wednesday in a crucial do-or-the game 5.

The Celtics will try to extend their season without their superstar striker Jayson Tatum. Tatum is excluded for the rest of the series and possibly also due to a broken Achilles in his right foot. It was a brutal and devastating injury that not only affects the title chances of the Celtics, but also to their long -term success.

Tatum has firmly consolidated his place in the NBA elite, even if he does not always give the widespread recognition that status is committed. Nevertheless, not everyone overlooks their effects. Jalen Brunson, Star Guard von Knicks, praised Tatum shining before game 5 and recognized the talent and the all-round game of the striker.

“I have the feeling (Tatum), it is an unfortunate situation for a player like him. Jayson needs the league. What he could do in his career is incredible … He still has a long time to get an effect … You see how a player goes down, it is not good,” said Brunson.

Brunson and Tatum went to each other for all long series and played shot for shot, especially in the thriller, the game 4 was. Tatum had one of the best games in the playoffs and certainly the series.

Before Tatum left game 4, he recorded 42 points from the field, eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks in 40 minutes.

As for Brunson, he was also spectacular. In the series, he achieved an average of 28.0 points per game, 4.0 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 0.8 steals, while in four games he shoots 43.2 percent from the field and 41.2 percent.

The debate throughout the season has focused on whether Tatum deserves to be considered the face of the NBA. While opinions are divided, Brunson's most recent praise gives the argument that Tatum is highly valued among his colleagues.

Despite his youth, Tatum has already played a central role in some of the most important moments on the largest stage in basketball – an experience that only a few can claim in their career at that time.
