His reaction was all you needed to see, not to mention hands over his face getting wheelchaired off.

It'll take an MRI for sure but it's not good.

I wouldn’t judge it based off reactions, love Tatum but he has a history of embellishing.

It will be a miracle if it isn’t an Achilles.

He fell down, didn’t twist anything and was grabbing the exact same spot you do when you tear one.

I’m also glad Wyc took all of the wind out of the sails this entire friggin season when he announced he was selling.

Last star player to tear their achilles around JT’s age was Boogie. Feels like this almost always happens to older players

So you think he was crying in the wheelchair to play it up?

What??? He’s tough as heck!! Just because he plays through it, doesn’t mean the injury was slight.

Dude I get trading KP, Jaylen, Jrue etc. Trading Tatum makes no sense

We are not trading Tatum!!!! Don’t even know what his injury is. Ugh please please please let it be something else!!

After next year when it's brown and white carrying the team you'll be singing a different tune.

The only good coming from a second round exit would possibly be the end of Mazzula ball.

He’s tough as nails. Still, hope people are wrong!!

Especially when 3 of those guys were doing nothing.

Literally zero reason to bring Joe back. Zero.

Has to be less stubborn.

At least Porzingis’s mystery illness has taken a back seat

I'm not worried about a post-Achilles Tatum. But this fundamentally and completely changes our next two years.

Awesome. He can do that coaching in the G-League.

You can trade Brown. I just don’t get your logic but whatever

Honestly for a franchise that has had so much luck we’ve also had some horrendous luck to star players in their primes.

Brad won't fire Joe. And not to say he's not without fault but I like that we're not a loser franchise who fires coaches on a kneejerk because the front office is out of ideas.

Things just really escalated after Q3 of Game 1.

KP, Hauser, the blown leads, now this.

I can't remember a worse series of events to happen to this team over such a short span.

I’m sure the training staff knows if it’s torn or not Achilles isn’t like acl they can shake his calf and see the detachment if it is
