Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum had surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon that will sideline him for the remainder of the playoffs, the team announced Tuesday.

The Celtics announced the extent of Tatum’s injury and the surgery a day after the six-time All-Star went down in the Celtics’ 121-113 Game 4 loss to the New York Knicks, puts both the hopes of the defending champions repeating and Tatum’s playing status for next season in doubt.

When Kevin Durant tore his Achilles tendon during the 2019 NBA Finals, he wound up missing the entire 2019-2020 season.

The 27-year-old Tatum is leading the Celtics in points (28.1), rebounds (11.5) and assists (5.4) per game for the second straight postseason.

Portland Trail Blazers up for sale >> Paul Allen’s estate announced that it has begun the process of selling the Portland Trail Blazers.

The sale of the team is “consistent with Allen’s directive to eventually sell his sports holdings and direct all estate proceeds to philanthropy,” the Trail Blazers said in a statement.

Allen, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft, died in 2018 at age 65 from complications of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Olympics

Gold Medalist Wrestler arrested in Prostitution Sting >> Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder, one of the most successful wrestlers in U.S. history, was arrested in a prostitution sting, according to police in Columbus.

Snyder, 29, was charged with engaging in prostitution after he was arrested on Friday, according to court records, which did not list an attorney for him. Messages seeking comment from Snyder were not immediately returned.

Snyder became the youngest American wrestler to win Olympic gold at age 20 during the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, and he followed that up with a silver at the Tokyo Games. He lost in the bronze-medal match at last year’s Olympics in Paris.

He was a three-time NCAA champion at Ohio State and has won three world championships.

Women’s basketball

Ohio State’s coach arrested for DWI >> Ohio State women’s basketball coach Kevin McGuff, the Big Ten’s 2024 coach of the year, was charged with operating a vehicle while impaired last week, police said.

Officers said McGuff hit several curbs and drove into a yard, where he was found behind the wheel on May 6 in the Columbus suburb of Dublin, according to an arrest report. McGuff refused to give a breath sample, police said.

The coach’s attorney entered a not guilty plea on his behalf during a hearing Tuesday. A message seeking comment was left with the attorney.

McGuff has led Ohio State to eight NCAA tournament appearances in 12 seasons and a Big Ten title in the 2023-2024 season.

Tigers Foley has Tommy John Surgery >> Detroit Tigers right-hander Jason Foley, who had a team-high 28 saves last season, has had season-ending shoulder surgery.

The 29-year-old Foley was optioned to Triple-A Toledo after spring training, a season after trailing just four AL pitchers in saves.

He was 3-6 with a 3.15 ERA in 69 appearances last year, tying Will Vest for the team lead, and had at least 20 more saves than any other Tiger. In three-plus seasons, he is 7-9 with a 3.16 ERA in 210 games.

In the ninth inning of New York’s 11-5 victory over Seattle on Monday night, Cabrera fractured his left ankle on an awkward slide when he reached back for the plate and scored the Yankees’ final run on Aaron Judge’s sacrifice fly.
