While there was no official word yet, awaiting an MRI on Tuesday, the injury suffered by Boston's Jayson Tatum late in the game had players on both sides devastated.
"I never want to see a player get hurt," Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said. "And I know he's been a great player and he's a great guy, too, so I hope it's not a serious injury."
"First and foremost. Praying for the best," Jalen Brunson said about Tatum's injury. "I just wanted to send prayers out to JT, man."
