The Boston Celtics are in a precarious position after falling behind 3-1 in their playoff series against the New York Knicks. Following the loss, Al Horford expressed deep concern for teammate Jayson Tatum, who suffered a non-contact ankle injury and had to be wheeled out of Madison Square Garden. Both Horford and Jaylen Brown emphasized their worry about Tatum's health above the team's immediate playoff performance. With uncertainty surrounding Tatum's condition, the Celtics must quickly shift their focus to prepare for the upcoming challenges in the playoffs, despite the looming threat to their championship aspirations.
"The loss is the loss. More importantly it's Jayson that I'm worried about," Horford said. "Just making sure I'm here for him. That's my priority."
"It's tough," Jaylen Brown said of Tatum's injury before taking an extended pause. "There's not really a lot to say."
"I think everybody's concerned with Jayson," Brown said. "I'm not sure how bad it is. Didn't look great. But I think everybody is kind of more concerned with [the injury]."
