Jayson Tatum faces a challenging recovery after rupturing his Achilles tendon during the Eastern Conference Semifinals, which ends his 2024-25 season and jeopardizes 2025-26. Former NBA stars, Charles Barkley and Jalen Rose, express their disappointment for Tatum, who was on the brink of solidifying his legacy during the playoffs. Rose emphasizes Tatum's potential breakout moment in leading the Celtics, especially after Jaylen Brown's Finals MVP. Barkley reflects on the cruel aspect of injuries in sports, noting how Tatum's injury occurred during a routine play, highlighting the randomness of such incidents.
"Obviously you've got your own doctors, but the best experience is somebody who's already experienced it before."
"He's a winner. He's a champion. And as you mentioned - seeing him get injured on a non-contact injury, especially at this point of the season..."
"It's really unfortunate. But the thing that sucks: you probably have done that a million times in your life, and that time - you blow out your Achilles."
