Tatam was hurt during the second round of playoff matches of Monday evening and underwent immediate surgery on Tuesday. His condition of suit and playing in the 2025–26 NBA season is in severe doubt, as the 27-year-old superstar faces a long road for recovery.
While this is a devastating news for Celtics – the Eastern Conference that appears ready to wave the white flag in the semi -finals – Tatam’s unfortunate injury will open the door for several titles contenders.

This organization was loved by Offsen. Mikal Bridge and his trade for Carl-Antony Town were “Jeet-now” exercises, which were created with the hope of gaining an edge against Boston. Now, we are looking at that payment.
City, bridges and Jalan Brunson are all subject to contract through at least next season. Nix Nix is going to take Cultics down this year, and not surprise if they are a serious favorite for coming out from East with the next season.

Remember, Indiana made the Eastern Conference final last season, where she was reduced to the final NBA Champion Celltics. This team is war-testing.
Pacers can score a lot of points, but they were not just officers of superstar power to match Tatam and Jelane Brown. But without tatam? Tyrese Haliburton definitely appears to be ready to take a torch as one of the best young stars of the league.

The All-Star Guard Darius Garland was very important for Cleveland’s success in the regular season. He missed two games against pacers with badly injured large legs, and when he returned, he did not have a burst to contribute aggressively. Donovan Mitchell spent two games against Indiana to deal with a sprain calf, while Ivan Moblay fought with an ankle with a sprain and de’ndre Hunter put a disorganized thumb on his shoot.
Caves are likely to run back with some small tweex in the next season. At an Eastern conference without Tatam, Cleveland should look at its successful regular sessions and find out what they continue to fail in the playoff time.
