Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum suffered a severe right leg injury late in the fourth quarter during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference series against the New York Knicks, leaving the Celtics trailing 3-1 in the series. The incident occurred with 2:58 remaining, as Tatum attempted to recover a loose ball following a turnover. In a distressing moment captured on the ESPN broadcast, he collapsed after his leg appeared to give out during the non-contact injury. Tatum, who had been having an exceptional game with 42 points—his highest in the playoffs—showed visible signs of pain, burying his face in a towel while grasping his leg above the ankle. After being assisted off the court, he was later seen in a wheelchair in the tunnel, unable to put any weight on his right leg, raising concerns about the severity of the injury. The situation adds significant worry for the Celtics as they navigate a challenging playoff series, now facing the prospect of losing their star player.
