Earlier this week, the Boston Celtics announced the heartbreaking news that Jayson Tatum would miss the remainder of the NBA playoffs.

He had been in the middle of his eighth season (and never dealt with a serious injury during his pro career).

Via Chris Haynes (on Tuesday): "Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum tore his right Achilles tendon and underwent surgery today."

Following the surgery, Tatum made a post to Instagram that had over 1.7 million likes.

He wrote: "Thankful for all the love and support "

Game 6 will be on Friday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
