Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum suffered an apparent right leg injury late in the fourth quarter Monday night as Boston went down 3-1 in the series against the New York Knicks.
Tatum was seen on the ESPN broadcast in a wheelchair after he had been helped off the court at Madison Square Garden and was unable to put any weight on his right leg.
The injury happened with 2:58 remaining in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference. The Celtics had just turned the ball over and as Tatum moved for the loose ball, his leg gave out and he went down. He buried his face in a towel in obvious pain while grabbing at his leg above the ankle after the non-contact injury.
Tatum scored 42 points, his high in these playoffs, before he was hurt. He was seen in a wheelchair in the tunnel after being taken off.
