The Boston Celtics have announced that star forward Jayson Tatum has undergone successful surgery to repair his Achilles tendon tear sustained in the Celtics Game 4 loss to the New York Knicks in their 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series. "No timetable is currently available for his return, but he is expected to make a full recovery," wrote the team in a recent press release about the St. Louis native's injury.
