Jayson Tatum's Achilles injury 'not good for' NBA: Jalen Brunson

Boston – You were opponents on the pitch, but Jalen Brunson believes that everyone loses injury with Jayson.

Tatum was operated on because of a torn Achilles tendon, which he suffered in Madison Square Garden during the Knicks game 4 against the Celtics on Monday evening. He will probably miss the entire next season as a result.

“I feel for him,” said Brunson on Wednesday morning after Knick shot 5 before game. “It is an unfortunate situation for a player like him. NBA needs Jayson Tatum what he could do in his career was remarkable, and he still has a long, long way, they see how a player goes down, it's just not good for the game.”

Tatum will probably be added to his fourth all-NBA team in a row and fifth in six years. He beats in the middle of his heyday at the age of 27. He was one of the long -lasting players in the league with an average of 73.1 games per season in eight years in the NBA.

Now the league will look very different until when it is back.

Mitchell Robinson can empathize. His Knicks career was defined by injuries, which often led to long absences. He has only played 48 regular season together in the past two years. He made his debut until the end of February.

“First of all, I would like to send prayers to JT for this injury,” said Robinson on Wednesday. “I went through a lot myself. I know what it feels like. It's not a great feeling of being in it. I just have to go on.

“There are many emotions that go up and down. So the difficult part tries to stay concentrated because you can't really do things when you are injured and something like that.
