Jayson Tatum left game 4 of the semifinal series of the ESE conference with the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks with just under three remaining minutes in the last quarter.
Tatum divered by a loose ball that resulted in an OG Anunoby dump, and apparently suffered a contactless injury in the right ankle or the lower leg.
Boston coaches tended to a twisted tatum, which was finally escorted, unable to place weight on their right leg. A few minutes later, ESPN’s transmission was transmitted to Tatum that took the locker room in a wheelchair.
Before suffering the injury, Tatum had been the best player for the Celtics on Monday. He had scored 42 points in 16 of 28 shots from the field, including seven triple made, while they grabbed eight rebounds.
He made a 3-point shot and then led to one and a tray in consecutive possessions, drawing the game with 102-102 with 6:12 Relaining. The Knicks thought, responded with an 11-2 race, which put the ice game. The worst scenario of the Celtics to lower 3-1 in the series seemed inevitable at that time, but things only worsened when Tatum was injured and could not put weight on the right leg, a view that NBA fans have been marked before, knowing the possible result.
After the game, the chief coach of the Celtics, Joe Mazzulla, described Tatum’s ailment as a “injury at the bottom of the body.” Mazzulla infnated to the media that the superstar would receive a magnetic resonance tomorrow.
