UPDATE: Tatum will get an MRI on Tuesday, per coach Joe Mazzulla.

With under three minutes left in Monday’s Game 4 vs. the Knicks, Jayson Tatum went for a loose ball against OG Anunoby and fell to the floor in pain.

He then needed help to the locker room and was unable to put any weight on his leg.

Before exiting, he shot the lights out, scoring 42 points. He shot 16-of-28 from the field and 7-of-16 from three. Tatum also added eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks. He was seen in a wheelchair on his way to the locker room in the TV coverage.
