The Boston Celtics saw their season come to an end in the second round of the playoffs against the New York Knicks. Unfortunately, that series loss also came with Jayson Tatum tearing his Achilles in Game 4.

The Boston Celtics are going to be without Jayson Tatum for quite a few games because of the torn Achilles that he suffered against the Knicks in Game 4 of the second round. They are prepared to deal with what it will be like without their best player.

Durant was among the group of players who were out for over a year following his Achilles tear, making his return to action 18 months after the injury (although the COVID pandemic played a hand in that). Tatum is reportedly using Durant’s rehab as a template for his road to recovery.
