Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is out of a New York hospital and met with his teammates in an emotional reunion on Thursday.
Tatum ruptured his right Achilles tendon in Monday’s 121-113 loss to the host New York Knicks in Game 4. He underwent surgery the following day.
Tatum possibly could be in attendance at Madison Square Garden on Friday night when the Celtics attempt to tie the Eastern Conference semifinals at three games apiece.
Boston impressively posted a 127-102 home win over New York on Wednesday to stave off elimination.
Being able to hang out with their franchise player was pleasing for a squad that was deeply concerned after Tatum’s devastating injury late in Game 4.
