The Boston Celtics, after entering the NBA season as favorites to repeat as title winners, suffered a brutal injury to their best player. In Game 4 against the New York Knicks, superstar Jayson Tatum went down with an injury, later revealed to be a torn Achilles.

On Wednesday, Knicks guard Jalen Brunson's comments on the Celtics star were revealed as the NBA world reacted to the unfortunate news surrounding the 2024 NBA champion. Brunson made his thoughts loud and clear as he shard them with the rest of the league ahead of the Knicks' showdown in Beantown.

Speaking on TNT, Charles Barkley believes that Jayson Tatum should call this NBA star for guidance after tearing his Achilles.

The Celtics are in a 3-1 series hole after dropping Game 4 on Monday in Madison Square Garden, shellshocked not only by the loss of Tatum but by the reality of facing elimination when the plan was to repeat as champions.
