All Horford and the Celtics focused on Jason Tatum after he was injured in his fourth game of losing to the Knicks on Monday night.

In the fourth game of the Boston Celtics losing to the New York Knicks on Monday night, Al Horford focused on teammate Jason Tatum after seeing him get injured. The

injury occurred within the last six minutes of the fourth quarter. Tatum performed well, scoring 42 points, helping the Celtics maintain their lead.

However, disaster strikes, Tatum suffered a noticeable leg injury while trying to save a loose ball. It was a non-contact injury, and team officials carried him back to the locker room because his legs were unable to bear weight. Afterward, they put him in a wheelchair, which suggests that the injury may be serious.

According to Jared Weiss of The Athletic, Horford reviewed the loss after the game. Although he and the Celtics are unwilling to lose, their attention is focused on Tatum's future development.

"Losing is losing. More importantly, I'm worried about Jason," Horford said.

Al Horford and the Celtics' next plan

After the loss in Game 4, especially after Jason Tatum's injury, Al Horford and the Celtics are facing many questions now.

Although the Celtics led 62-51 at the end of the half, they failed to stop the Knicks' offense. Jaylen Brunson, Mikal Bridges and Carl Anthony Towns performed well at critical moments and continued to suppress the Celtics and finally took the series lead with a 3-1 score.

The Celtics scored in double digits in this game. Tatum made 16 of 28 shots in the game, scoring 42 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, leading the team. He made 16 of 28 shots in the game, including 7 of 16 three-pointers and 3 free throws. Derek White followed closely with 23 points and 3 rebounds; Jaylen Brown scored 20 points and 7 rebounds; Payton Pritchard scored 10 points.

The Celtics hope to face the Knicks at home in Game 5 to continue the momentum of the season. The competition will be held at 7 p.m. ET on May 14.
