All the Celtics can hope for is that Tatum responds to this injury just like he has to other adversities throughout his life. When many questioned if he was good enough to be a top option on the championship team, he turned around and won it all. When Tatum was asked to improve his game in other ways, he did just that.

Chisholm’s group agreed to purchase the Celtics’ majority stake from Wyc Grousbeck for a valuation of $6.1 billion in March, making it the richest sale of a franchise in North American sports history at the time. The sale of the Lakers broke that record in June, with Mark Walter purchasing the team for a valuation of $10 billion.
