Former NBA star Nick Van Exel believes there is a specific reason for the recent Achilles injuries suffered by superstar

After winning the NBA Championship last year, many had high hopes for the Boston Celtics in 2024-25, especially since they brought back nearly the exact same team. For the most part, these expectations were met as the Celtics finished the regular season 61-21 and earned the No.

The Celtics star spoke out on social media on Wednesday for the first time since tearing his right Achilles tendon in Monday’s Game 4 loss to the Knicks.

BOSTON — Jayson Tatum sustained what appeared to be a serious lower leg injury late in the fourth quarter of the Boston Celtics ’ 121-113 loss to the New York Knicks during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Monday, putting his season in potential jeopardy.

TNT's long-time superstar combo guard Jayson Castro has been relegated to the Unrestricted Free Agent list on Tuesday. However, no PBA team is expected to pick the 38-year-old Castro from the unrestricted free agent list since the setup was said to have been agreed between him and the Tropang 5G management while the nine-time PBA All-Star guard recovers from a season-ending knee injury.

The Celtics put basketball to the side. For a brief period, all they were concerned with was Jayson Tatum as a human.  After rupturing his Achilles tendon in Game 4, Tatum had his surgery in New York and has since stayed in the city.

Tatum's brilliant tenure with the Celtics took a painful turn Monday night. It's a reminder of how quickly an athlete's fortunes can change.

As Jayson Tatum begins his long road back from an Achilles rupture, he’ll have an unexpected mentor in his corner—Kevin Durant, whose own comeback story has become the blueprint for modern Achilles recovery.
