How should we see Tatum’s playoffs performance in light of his injury?

Is the Celtics’ season a success or failure with a failed Finals run?

Should the fact All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum revealed he had been playing in the 2022 NBA playoffs with a nondisplaced fracture in his wrist change how we look at his performance in the Boston Celtics’ run to the NBA Finals?

In a recent interview with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report, Tatum spoke at length about a number of Boston-adjacent topics, but his revelation of the injury (sustained late in the 2021-22 NBA season) and its impact on him was far and away the most important aspect of the exchange. The St. Louis native also revealed how reluctant he was to even have it checked out in the first place, given it could have ended with him having to sit out time in the playoffs.

The eponymous hosts of the Jalen and Jacoby show on ESPN recently discussed the Tatum injury revelation and how it shapes their understanding of what the Celtics accomplished in the 2022 postseason in the video embedded below.
