And now Tatum with what could be a serious injury. Boston done.

I suspect all these injuries he’s had for years have sapped his confidence.

Tatum probably broke ankle and Celtics are probably out.

Wow.
What a crazy playoffs.

I wouldn't want him on the team.

Unpredictable playoffs so far. Thunder of course could still do the thing and be the best regular season team and win the finals, but seems like a relatively real chance they don't.

Ohhhhh. If Tatum just did his Achilles that’s terrible. Sucks to see stars get sent out of the playoffs with injuries.

Nuggets, Wolves got their window open.
But yea OKC is still favorite.

Poor Cavs

I think this is a serious injury for Tatum from what I see. Boston with 500M in Tax and luxury tax plus way above 2nd apron? This team is breaking up this summer.

Hope it's not achilles. Get well Tatum. Magic know what its like to deal with injuries. If it is, that does open the door for a lot of East teams next year.

It looked like a non-contact injury. He did twist and was grabbing his ankle.

It was weird for sure. Look like achilles from his reaction but he was holding his ankle. Either way it looks bad and done for this year at the least.

What a day. Flagg to Dallas. Giannis is looking for another team. Now Tatum with a possible ruptured Achilles.

That really sucks for Tatum, as it does for CLE too…strategically, for ORL, if you were contemplating a win-now bombshell trade, you just got another reason to step up and pull the trigger…the East is wide open and nobody in the West looks unbeatable either.

This front office better make some moves. With the Tatum injury Boston could fall fast next season. That is a perfect opportunity for the magic to jump clearly into the top 4. And that makes the east wide open in the playoffs next season.

Do you job weltman

Wow that looks bad for Tatum, just that sprinter style push off and collapse you see ending in an Achilles so much

Dude is just garbage. There is just no versatility in his game. All he does jack up threes. Very poor post-up player despite being 7ft, terrible pick and role player, very soft and can be easily bodied, dude is just not that good.

Is there a chance that SA might trade Fox, if they draft Harper? That back court is really packed with Vassel, Castle, Fox, and now maybe Harper.

He is UFA after 2025-26, might as well start season with him and trade him at deadline, or let him walk and have boat of money next season.

It takes guards several years before they play winning ball. I think San Antonio ends up trading Harper.
