Jayson Tatum injury ‘could go down as one of the darker Celtic days’ — Bill Simmons makes grim prediction
NY Post
Jayson Tatum’s injury could spell disaster for the Celtics — and not just for the series against the Knicks.
And Boston superfan Bill Simmons isn’t ignoring the potential enormity of the devastating injury blow as the Celtics revealed Tuesday Tatum underwent surgery on a torn right Achilles.
“Tonight was not a good night for Celtics fans, holy sh-t,” Simmons said of the team’s potentially franchise-changing Game 4 loss to the Knicks on his self-titled podcast Tuesday morning.
“This could go down — we’ll see what happens with Tatum — but this could go down as one of the darker Celtic days.”
Tatum’s injury came in the final few minutes of the 121-113 setback and it did not look good.
