Celtics fans remain hopeful for Jayson Tatum after he suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in a game against the Knicks.

Jayson Tatum underwent successful surgery on Tuesday to repair his ruptured his Achilles tendon. The Celtics announced no definitive timetable on his recovery when announcing the procedure but Marc Spears of Andscape revealed some insight on Tatum’s conversations with his family over the past two days, including with his father Justin Tatum.

While the injury shouldn't derail Tatum's career, it does give the Celtics a major obstacle to overcome. Boston has been to the conference finals five times and has had a pair of NBA Finals appearances—including a win last year—since 2017. Much of that success, especially over the past five or so years, has been largely due to Tatum.
