After injury to his right leg, the Celtic Tatum exited in a wheelchair. Knicks – Basketball Insider

It seems that Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum suffered a serious injury to the lower right leg in Game 4 against the New York Knicks.

With more than three minutes left in the fourth quarter, Jaylen Brown attempted to lead to Jayson Tatum, the pass was intercepted by OG Anunoby. When Tatum tried to receive the ball, he seemed to hurt the back of his lower right ankle area.

Tatum watched in extreme pain in the local area and was helped on the court. He did not put any weight on his right foot when he headed to the exit. Then, his head was held in his hand as he reached into the wheelchair.

Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla has confirmed Tatum will receive an MRI on Tuesday.

It clouded the actual results of the game, and the Knicks won the Commanding 3-1 series lead 121-113.

Tatum had a great game himself, losing 42 points, eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks. He shot 16 from 28 in the field, including 16 from 3-point range.

Boston led 11 at halftime and New York rushed into the game in the second half.

Tatum has always been a beacon for health

At the age of 27, this seems to be the first major injury in Tatum's career.

So far, Tatum has played at least 72 games except for two seasons in his eight-year career. In the other two seasons, he played 66 and 64 games. During that time, he also participated in 121 playoff games.

Tatum missed the playoff game for the first time in the first round against the Orlando Magic.

Injuries have become the theme of the second round. Steph Curry was injured in the first game of the Golden State Warriors series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Cleveland Cavaliers don't have Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and DeAndell Hunter's game.

Now Donovan Mitchell's status in Game 5 is questioned after reinjecting his left ankle injury.

Boston trailed 3-1 3-1 and without the best player, he would have a hard time getting to the Eastern Conference Finals from here, let alone winning the championship.

In the dominant final, MVP Jaylen Brown will tend to move forward. However, he has not made a significant impact on the series.

Brown shot less than 40% from the field, including 22.6% outside the arc.
