Fans feared the worst as it was a non-contact injury, and while on the floor, he grabbed the back of his right leg. He was eventually helped up by Celtics staff and was unable to put any weight on his left leg as he was led to the back of the arena. Footage later caught him being rolled around in a wheelchair through the hallways.
Non-contact leg issues are often the scariest and most detrimental because they’re usually related to a knee or ankle injury that leaves athletes with about a year of rehab ahead of them.
After the game, head coach Joe Mazulla was hesitant to speak on Tatum’s condition, instead deferring to the medical staff as Tatum planned to undergo more testing.
“I talked to the medical staff, they told me it’s a lower body injury and he’ll get an MRI,” Mazzulla told reporters. “We’ll see where it goes from there.”
Brown gave his opinion on Tatum, saying he’s “not sure how bad it is” but admits it “didn’t look great.”
As the Celtics now wonder if Tatum will be sidelined for the 2025-2026 season, they’ve got to reset their focus on the series at hand. The Knicks are up 4-1 and look to close it out at TD Garden Wednesday night.
