Celtics star Jayson Tatum's injury in Game 4 against the New York Knicks had his teammates in a state of shock Monday.

Tatum delivered an exceptional performance, scoring 42 points, including seven three-pointers. However, with under three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Tatum suffered a non-contact injury to his right leg while attempting to recover a loose ball.

Tatum, a perennial All-Star and the face of the franchise, has been instrumental to Boston’s success this postseason, averaging over 30 points per game in the playoffs. His absence is likely to doom Boston’s repeat title hopes, but Horford emphasized that the team’s focus is on Tatum’s well-being over the outcome of the game or season.
