Celtics Rally After Tatum's Achilles Injury

Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics ruptured his Achilles tendon during Game 4 against the New York Knicks, underwent surgery, and is expected to miss the remainder of the playoffs and potentially much of the next season. Despite losing their star player, the Celtics secured a dominant 127-102 win in Game 5, led by Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and Luke Kornet, to keep their postseason hopes alive. Tatum expressed gratitude for the widespread support from fans, teammates, and fellow players, vowing not to let the injury define him. Key players like Al Horford and Sam Hauser have stepped up in Tatum's absence. The team now heads to New York for a crucial Game 6, with the NBA community, including Carmelo Anthony, rallying around Tatum. The Celtics and their supporters remain hopeful for his full recovery and eventual return.
