Tatum`s Achilles injury jeopardizes Celtics` playoff hopes as Knicks and Pacers advance in a thrilling NBA postseason.

Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon during a playoff defeat against the New York Knicks, raising significant concerns for the Celtics as they face elimination in the Eastern Conference semifinals. This injury could have lasting implications for the franchise and its future playoff aspirations.

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have secured their spot in the Eastern Conference finals for the second consecutive year after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5. Their consistent performance highlights their growth as a formidable playoff contender.

In the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder are just one win away from reaching the finals, thanks to a stellar performance from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who played a crucial role in the fourth quarter of their latest matchup.
