The reigning NBA champs are in trouble after superstar Jayson Tatum went down in the 4th quarter with a non-contact injury.

With about three minutes left in the game, Tatum went down holding the back of his right ankle.

It looked like a potential rupture to his Achilles, but no word yet on the exact injury.

If Tatum is sidelined until the 2026-27 season, it’s over Boston.
