Hey, the worst result is still coming.

The Celtics officially updated Tatum's injury early this morning: "Jason Tatum successfully completed the right Achilles tendon rupture repair surgery today. It is not yet confirmed that his return date is still possible, but he is expected to be able to recover completely. If there is any latest situation in the future, we will inform you in time." Medical expert Jeffries said that this is expected to take a 9-12 month recovery period, and Tatum may be reimbursed next season.

is so cruel, brothers. Tatum is about to become the 43rd player in NBA history to be selected for the first team four times in his career. He will be selected for the All-A-Squad for four consecutive years. He just turned 27 and was in his peak period. He was resistant to killing, but now he has become one of the youngest top star players to suffer from a ruptured Achilles tendon.

According to the Celtics' complications, such surgical complications are more common, so the Celtics are grateful that Tatum has no complications in this operation. According to famous reporter Shams, Tatum underwent Achilles tendon repair surgery in New York. The faster the Achilles tendon surgery, the better the recovery, so the Celtics chose to arrange surgery for Tatum in New York.

Since entering the NBA in 2017, Tatum has played the most games in the regular season and playoffs in the league, reaching 706 games in the same period. He has been leading the Celtics’ total score, rebounds and assists over the past two years of playoffs, especially in the 2024 Finals, where he led the team to win three statistics.

This season, he played 72 games, averaged 26.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game, shooting 45.2% from the field and 34.3% from three-pointers. He signed a five-year, $313 million contract extension with the team last offseason. The 2025-26 season is the first year of his contract and he will receive a salary of $54.1 million. The contract will last until the 2029-30 season, when he also has a $71.4 million player option.

Tatum is often criticized by fans for his imperfect technology, too good at abilities, stealth at critical moments, losing FMVP, etc., but Celtic fans can definitely see that he has been constantly transforming himself for the team over the years, never having any resentment, has a stable mood, both offense and defense, and has done all the dirty and tiring work, and has contributed everything to the team.

wishes Tatum a speedy recovery and a 100% recovery as the Celtics said.

In addition, when Shams talked about Tatum in the live broadcast, he said that Tatum's accidental injury may give birth to the Celtics' lineup adjustment: "Tatum successfully completed the Achilles tendon repair surgery, which is a devastating blow to the 27-year-old star at the peak, and he will face a long recovery period."

"According to people familiar with the matter, whether the Celtics wins or loses this season, whether Tatum is injured or not, the Celtics originally planned to adjust the roster in the upcoming offseason, and this injury will create more possibilities. The Celtics' current total salary is close to $500 million, while Tatum may be absent for more than a year," Shams said.

Finally, I have to complain about the NBA shit-like schedule. Xiao Hua is a pure fool. These players are just injured! Lillard was injured after Curry was injured, Mitchell was injured after Tatum... With the playoffs being relaxed against the ratings, away games started every other day. Harden played 46 minutes and left the away tiebreak the other day. Jokic flew away immediately after the away game and ran away with the Thunder Youth Storm...

It would be fine if the first round was more dense, but the second round of the playoffs was still so dense. No matter whether you want to go away or not, you will play the next day. The intensity of the game is not comparable to the regular season, which can easily cause players to be tired and injured. Whoever proposes and approves this year's playoff schedule is all brainless, and they really don't treat players as human beings.
