Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon, sidelining him for the playoffs. Tatum suffered the injury during Game 4 against the New York Knicks, where he scored 42 points before falling to the court. The Celtics are now facing a 3-1 series deficit in their Eastern Conference semifinals, with Game 5 scheduled for Wednesday. Tatum's season-ending injury raises concerns about his recovery and the team’s financial decisions moving forward, particularly as they navigate their luxury tax situation and potential roster adjustments after his historic contract extension.
