Though the Celtics said Tatum is expected to make a full recovery, it will likely take some time for him to get there. An Achilles tear typically comes with a recovery timeline of eight to 12 months, so he should be expected to miss much of next season in addition to the current postseason.

The Celtics announced Tuesday that Jayson Tatum suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in his right foot on Monday against the Knicks.

Tatum is expected to make a full recovery and no timetable was given for his return, but players who have suffered similar injuries are typically sidelined for nearly a season.
