With the surgery on the right Achilles tendon he ruptured on Monday now complete, Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum is officially on the road to recovery. Tatum shared a postsurgery photo on Instagram on Wednesday, expressing appreciation for the well-wishes offered to him by the NBA community and beyond. "Thankful for all the love and support," Tatum captioned the photo of him flashing a thumbs-up, adding a praying hands emoji. A number of notable names offered their support to Tatum in the comments of his post, including former New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and actor Donnie Wahlberg. The Celtics will look to stay alive without Tatum in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Knicks on Wednesday night.
