One player who stands to benefit from the injury is Torrey Craig. Craig was signed in the middle of last season as some insurance and as a possible rotation piece. Craig didn't play meaningful minutes for most of the season, but that could change next season. With Tatum out, the Celtics are going to need help at the forward spot.

Tatum dropped to the floor, slapped the hardwood and pleaded for his team to call a timeout after Knicks forward OG Anunoby converted a fastbreak dunk. Tatum grimaced in pain for a few more seconds before trainers attended to him on the floor.

The Celtics fell short in their quest for another NBA title, and the front office has some significant decisions to make this offseason.
