00:00Jason Tatum underwent surgery to repair a torn right Achilles tendon.

00:05That is obviously a season-ending injury, and, you know, that's long rehab.

00:11You're talking next year.

00:11That's a year.

00:12That's a year.

00:14So he will miss all of next year.

00:16He won't play until the following year.

00:18Right.

00:19You know, you put the timeline out there.

00:21Obviously, it's May right now.

00:23You know, the entire regular season next year, minimum, obviously,

00:28they make the playoffs, you're going to bring him back with a playoff.

00:30So if an Achilles tendon injury, I don't know.

00:32But he's going to be out all next year, too.

00:34That's kind of what it comes down to.

00:36That's a tough – that's tough for Tatum.

00:39I don't wish that on anyone, but it doesn't negate the fact that I hate the Celtics.

00:45I know.

00:46I figured that that was going to be.

00:47I just don't care.

00:48You know, I've seen every guy – did we not watch the Knicks implode last year with injuries?

00:53They lost to the Pacers because all their players got injured.

00:57Right?

00:58Like, and so cry me a river.

00:59Cry me a river.

01:01You know, I've heard it all before.

01:02Like, it's funny when it happens to your team, right?

01:05But I'm not going to sit here and cry when your team has a devastating injury.

01:10I don't wish that on anybody.

01:12I don't.

01:13I hate that Achilles.

01:15Knees and ankles.

01:16I don't like talking about them.

01:17I've said it a million times.

01:19But screw the Celtics.

01:21Screw – that's what it comes down to.

01:24So, obviously, no Tatum going forward for the Seas with the Achilles injury.

01:30I'm just glad that we got it on SportsGrid, on coast-to-coast, and not, you know, at 6.15, I'm eating dinner and it pops.

01:39And then whenever that happens to us, I'm having a bad day.

01:42I'm having a bad day.
