Celtics’ Jayson Tatum to undergo MRI after suffering lower-body injury late in Game 4 vs. Knicks

Things went from bad to worse for the Celtics late in the fourth quarter of Game 4.

With just minutes remaining in the final frame, the Knicks had recaptured all of the momentum and were on the verge of closing out the victory on their homecourt to establish a commanding 3-1 series lead.

Coming out of a timeout, power forward Jayson Tatum went down with a non-contact lower-body injury while diving for a loose ball in the open court.

As OG Anunoby broke free for a huge fastbreak slam, Tatum remained down in the backcourt and was rolling around in an immense amount of pain before calling the Celtics’ final timeout on his own.
