The Boston Celtics and their fans are reeling after Jayson Tatum suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon on Monday night in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
But the reality of one of the NBA’s brightest starts missing over a year of action in his prime stands as a brutal development for basketball as a whole.
