The injuries were part of basketball and Boston Celtics learned from the first hand when they lost Jayson Tatum to a torn Achilles tendon.
Tatum was injured in the second round of playoff match on Monday evening and was operated on Tuesday. Since the 27-year-old superstar faces a long way for healing, it is appropriate in the 2025-26 NBA season and the status of playing has a serious doubt.
Although this is a destructive news for Celtics, which seems to be ready to shake the white flag in the Eastern Conference semi -finals, the unfortunate injury of Tatum will open the door of several headlines.
New York Knicks

Compulsory Credit: Vincent Carlietta-Imagn Images Knicks is an obvious team to benefit from the injury of Tatum. They seem to have been prepared to dedicate Celtics in existing NBA playoffs.
This organization was offseason’s lover. For the towns of Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony, tradesmen were the “Win-What” maneuvers made in the hope of gaining an advantage against Boston. Now, we see the payment.
The towns, Bridges and Jalen Brunson are at least contracted during the coming season. Knicks will overthrow Celtics this year and don’t be surprised if they are a serious favorite to leave the east next season.
Indiana Pacers

Remember, the Indiana made the Eastern Conference Finals last season and went to the final NBA champion Celtics. This team was tested in war.
Pacers can earn a lot of points, but they do not have superstar power to match Tatum and Jaylen Brown. But without my taste? Tyrese Haliburton is definitely one of the best young stars in the league. Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley.
As long as Pacers can make Protect your teams first identity Sağlam could benefit from a weak Eastern Conference next season.
Cleveland Cavaliers

All-Star guard Darius Garland was very important for Cleveland’s success during the normal season. He missed two matches with a bad wounded to Pacers and two matches with two matches, and when he returned, he didn’t have an aggressive explosion to contribute. Donovan Mitchell fought with an ankle Evan Mobley, while he was having two games while dealing with a blocked calf against Indiana, and there was a dislocated thumb in the hands of De’andre Hunter.
Cavs will pull back with some small fine adjustments next season. In an Eastern conference without a tatum, Cleveland should understand what it continues to benefit from successful regular seasons and what continues to fail in the timeoff time.
