Not only did the Boston Celtics lose to the New York Knicks Monday to fall to within one game of elimination from the NBA playoffs, they also lost Jayson Tatum to a lower-leg injury. Which means he may not be around to help them fight back from the 3-1 series deficit.

The St. Louis native went down late in the game with a non-contact injury that had him writing on the ground in pain.

The best player on the Boston Celtics for the last five years has been Jayson Tatum. He has established himself as one of the best players not just on the team, but in the NBA. Tatum has grown his game to the point that he is no longer just a scorer.
