The 27-year-old Tatum tore his right Achilles tendon on Monday night against the New York Knicks when he lunged toward a loose ball and his leg gave out. He buried his face in a towel in obvious pain while grabbing at his leg above the ankle after the non-contact injury.
The Celtics said the 6-time All-Star underwent successful surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon on Tuesday. No timetable is available for his return, but he is expected to make a full recovery.
