Can the Boston Celtics make it back to the NBA Finals without star forward Jayson Tatum? The St. Louis native went down with a torn Achilles tendon in Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series vs. the New York Knicks, and many believed that would be all she wrote for the guys in green and white.
