This Friday night, as the Boston Celtics gear up to play the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in a crucial NBA playoff game to avoid elimination, they will have to do so without their key player, Jayson Tatum.

Tatum sustained a torn Achilles in the late stages of the fourth quarter during Game 4 of the series. Following the injury, he underwent surgery and is now facing a lengthy rehabilitation period. His recovery timeline suggests he might miss most of the next season in addition to the current playoffs.

The news has understandably left Celtics supporters deeply disappointed, as they lament both Tatum’s personal suffering and the detrimental impact on their team’s championship aspirations. However, a recent update from the team indicates strong fan support for Tatum during his recovery journey.

Outside TD Garden, the Celtics organized a heartfelt gesture by setting up a microphone for fans to leave supportive voicemails for Tatum, resulting in a collection of deeply touching messages.
