Looked like the Kerr Krista injury, jones fractured? That's what I thought when I saw it happen.
down goes Tatum and the Celtics....and the Mavs with the number one pick ? interesting. I still think Golden State needs to prove they can beat Minnesota (Randle) without Curry .... Randle has been playing some amazing basketball.
... and I could've used to NOT see coach rick pitino high fiving sidelines at the Knicks win, but I'm happy for them and Towns. Knicks are looking great this year. They can finish off these Celtics.
My money is still on MVP SGA

Heck, thats a career-ender in the NBA. That's the alst injury you want to have in almost any sport, but especially in the NBA.
scary looking with that level of pain and agony continuing. Lord I hope he will be ok, but it doesn't look good at all.
That was my only other thought.. maybe foot fracture.. but doesn't seem like a knee or an ankle.
Jaylen "Turnover" Brown is gonna have nightmares about dick-fingering this routine pass that ended up killing Tatum a second later.

Devastating injury if it is indeed an Achilles tear. Big Cuz was never the same after his injury in New Orleans.
I know its at the bottom of importance right now.. but somewhere out there, theres a fantasy basketball league that's still going, probably in the finals.. and some guy just lost Jason Tatum for the year in the first game of the week, at the most awful and unlucky time. I've had seasons go south.. but this would be the ultimate gut punch.
Standing next to Walt Frazier. Unbelievable that he is 80 years old.
Tatum was my 1st round pick in a fantasy basketball league this year. Thankfully the season's playoffs concluded at the end of the regular season for me. People in keeper league that have him are sick to their stomach.
Fantasy league going on during the playoffs ????
Oh god, didnt even think of keepers. We will see what the diagnosis is tomorrow, but the telling sign was him crying in a way that told you HE knew how bad it was. That didnt even seem so much due to pain as it was a realization of the injury severity. I got a sense get won't be back to 100% for well beyond next season.
Theres always a few dummies out there lol. Honestly it probably is all done by now, but im always surprised to see how long leagues will go. Theres definitely lots that only ended a few weeks ago.
I subscribe to Sports Ethos on YouTube throughout the year for fantasy basketball talk. The old NBA TV guy Rick Kamla runs the show. They are still making videos daily about fantasy basketball, but they branch off into the daily fantasy basketball on Fan Duel and Draft Kings.
Was wrong about the Knicks. They're going to close out the Celtics. Wow
The playoffs have been great but the Curry and Tatum injuries kept both those series from potential Game 7s, which sucks. Boston could win Game 5 at home but Minnesota should close out Golden State later this week.
A Finals matchup with the Knicks and T-Wolves with KAT and Randle against their former teams would be pretty interesting. That's what I'm hoping for at this point. I wouldn't be upset with either of those teams winning a title. And some former Cats would get rings.

The Curry injury is the far bigger “what if”. The Knicks were gonna win tonight regardless. They already had the big 4th quarter lead and were rolling to a 3-1 series lead at the time Tatum got hurt. It’s highly doubtful that injury changed the outcome of the series.
Whereas the Curry injury TOTALLY changed the direction of the other series. In the blink of an eye that series switched from being controlled by the Warriors to the Wolves.
Agree on Curry and the Knicks winning tonight. But I wouldn't have been surprised at all if they gagged Game 6 at the Garden then lost Game 7 in Boston. I thought the Celtics' 3-point shooting in the first two games was a bit of a fluke. They're favored in Game 5, but who knows what the emotion from Tatum's injury will do.
I'm glad they're on the brink of elimination, although I feel bad for Tatum. He seems like a good dude and he's a stud on the court.
Tatum injury looked bad. Feel bad cause this is the last year that team will be together. Too expensive after this year.
He was crushing in that game too. I doubt they win now but they would have IMO. They shoot so well most night teams can’t beat them. They have lost 2 20+ point leads and that was kinda fluky itself. Glad the Knicks and Towns probably move on to the finals but it sucks for Boston. That team was really amazing.
Kyrie is worse than AD when it comes to availability. He averages 55 games a season, AD 60. He just tore an ACL and has been out for every leg injury known. He's older too.
I hate Boston so hope the Knicks finish them off asap. I feel for Tatum though and hope its not too bad an injury.
NBA at this point praying the Knicks make the NBA Finals for ratings. Don't think the pacers are a big draw.
I'm not sure what ratings Minnesota or okc bring in. Or even Denver.

I adopted the Knicks many years ago and it has been a rough ride.
2000 -last conference finals appearance
1999- last NBA finals appearance
1973- last NBA title.
Celtics with the #1 overall pick in 2027, despite just missing the playoffs with a 35-win record.
How bout them Pacers? Donovan Mitchell got to shoot about 250 FTs in the series and the Cavs still lose in five, and dropped all three at home.
Hard to believe Cleveland was the 1 seed and Indiana the 4 seed in that series.
It really doesn’t even feel like an upset now, because it looked like the Pacers were simply the clearly better team.

How did a team with Cason Wallace and Oscar barely (and in ugly fashion) beat Providence and lose to K-State in the NCAA Tournament?
