what happened to jayson tatum last night

Last night, Jayson Tatum suffered a devastating ruptured Achilles tendon injury late in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks. He was having an outstanding playoff performance with 42 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and four steals before the injury occurred in a non-contact play. Tatum collapsed to the floor and was unable to put weight on his right foot, requiring assistance to leave the court and was taken away in a wheelchair. The injury required surgery, which has already been performed, and it is expected to sideline him for the remainder of the playoffs and likely most, if not all, of the next NBA season. Recovery from such an injury typically takes around nine months to two years for a player to return to full form
