Via The Boston Celtics (on May 13): “Jayson Tatum today underwent successful surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon. No timetable is currently available for his return, but he is expected to make a full recovery. Further updates will be provided when appropriate.”
Right now, the Celtics are 8-8 in their first 16 games, which has them as the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference.
They have gone 5-5 over their last ten games.
On Sunday night, the Celtics will host the Orlando Magic in Boston.
