That could become even more of a priority after Jayson Tatum suffered a gruesome Achilles injury, ruling him out for the rest of the NBA playoffs and possibly longer. More Celtics

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is keeping a positive attitude after undergoing surgery on Tuesday to repair his ruptured Achilles.

In the immediate aftermath of the Celtics’ Game 4 loss to the Knicks, there was no major update when it came to Jayson Tatum’s right foot injury. The C’s star was forced to leave late in the fourth quarter after the apparent non-contact injury. Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said postgame that Tatum would get an MRI on Tuesday.
