The Boston Celtics had two major losses in the last couple of hours: they lost game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals to the New York Knicks 121-113, and they lost their superstar Jayson Tatum.
The NBA franchise with the most championships fell into a 3-1 series hole and now they are not going to be able to have Tatum on the court at least for the remainder of the battle against New York, if not the rest of the playoffs.
New footage suggests Jayson Tatum’s injury could have been prevented
Prior to the injury, Tatum logged 42 points, eight rebounds, four assists, four steals, and two blocks in the 121-113 loss, making him the third player in NBA history to reach those marks in a playoff game, along with legendary names like Patrick Ewing and Hakeem Olajuwon.
Tatum’s injuy could have been avoided
Game Recap: Knicks 121, Celtics 113
A new video posted on X shows Jayson Tatum working on his ankle with trainer Nick Sang during a break of the game 4 of the series between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks. “The shooting guard was jumping on one foot and doing some movement exercises during the timeout,” wrote Celtics reporter Bobby Krivitsky.
“Sounds like there was at least some concern prior to the injury collapse,” an X user wrote. “The Celtics have a better chance of winning without him… All he does is play 1-on-1 basketball and chug 3’s,” another social media user wrote. “People saying wrong leg/side… that’s usually what happens when you overcompensate one side of your lower body, the other takes too much load and suffers a worse injury or the hips get messed up,” added somebody else.
Tatum hurt himself while lunging for a loose ball and immediately dropped to the floor, writhing in pain while calling for a timeout. He was helped up by Boston’s medical staff and assisted off the court, unable to put any pressure on the injured leg, before being eased into a wheelchair and carted down a back hallway.
The Knicks want to close the deal and advance to the Finals
The New York Knicks had trouble finding their rhythm agains the Boston Celtics but they finally found the right pace and they are on the brink of eliminating the defending champions in what could be the biggest upset during the 2025 NBA playoffs so far.
Karl-Anthony Towns still hasn’t found his 3-point shot but took advantage of smaller defenders inside and scored 23 points on 11-for-15 shooting. OG Anunoby made some timely shots, and the combination of Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges couldn’t be stopped as New York scored an amazing 70 points on 47 possessions in the second half.
Jalen Brunson, by the way, keeps delivering huge playoff performances for the Knicks, even when they fall behind against the defending champions. He’s now averaged 30.2 points over his 34 playoff games with New York, with only Phoenix’s Devin Booker (32.1 in 15 games) having a higher scoring average over the last three postseasons.

Top prospect Dalton Rushing gets call from Dodgers, replacing a clubhouse ‘pillar’
LOS ANGELES — A pillar was moved and a chapter was turned for the Los Angeles Dodgers late on Tuesday night and into early Wednesday morning, as the club called Dalton Rushing at 1 a.m. in Round Rock, Texas, and told the top prospect he’d be coming up to the big leagues. As that was happening, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was letting Austin Barnes know the organization was letting its longest-tenured position player go.AdvertisementThe shuffle of who would back up franchise catcher Will Smith behind the plate came together quickly, yet signaled a shift that was a long time coming. Rushing was the Dodgers’ top pick in the draft three years ago and was soon banging down the door to the bigs. His promotion came at the cost of Barnes, the lone position player from Roberts’ entire tenure as manager […]

And his name was brought up in the context of the Yankees following a 3-2 win over the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park.After Paul Goldschmidt crushed a pinch hit solo shot to tie the game at 2-2 in the seventh inning, he credited Carpenter for giving him advice on how to come off the bench.“I know at the end of his career, he pinch hit a lot, and (he) and I are really […]

Canobbio passará por cirurgia ao sofrer fratura facial em vitória do Fluminense sobre Unión Española, pela Sul-Americana
Segundo o comuniacado do Fluminense, o uruguaio fraturou o osso zigomático, no lado esquerdo da face, e será submetido a uma cirurgia bucomaxilofacial. Depois de ser substituído, ele assistiu ao restante do primeiro tempo do banco, mas no intervalo foi levado a um hospital da Barra da Tijuca, onde foi constatada a lesão. O camisa 17 deu lugar a Keno, que fez primeiro gol do tricolor na partida, depois de receber a 11ª assistência de Arias na temporada. O segundo foi marcado por Samuel Xavier. Ao assumir a liderança provisória do Grupo F (pode ser ultrapassado pelo Once Caldas-COL, que enfrenta o GV San José-BOL nesta quinta-feira), o time de Renato Gaúcho coloca um pé nas oitavas da Sul-Americana. Agora, “vira a chave” para enfrentar o Juventude, domingo, no Alfredo Jaconi, pelo Brasileiro.
