Stevens reviews Tatum s quick surgery: It s only 15 minutes away from the doctor who gave KD surgery

May 20th, Celtics' basketball operations president Stevens was interviewed and reviewed Tatum's injury and surgery.

Stevens said Tatum's road to recovery is still long, but fortunately, because the injury occurred in New York, only 15 minutes away from the doctor who had surgery for Durant, Tatum was able to undergo surgery very quickly.

"The good news is that we are only 15 minutes away from Dr. O'Malley, a great surgeon who has handled a large number of similar cases. We just left the stadium on Monday night, and the team doctor Anthony Schena got in touch with O'Malley. Before the injury report was released the next day, Tatum had completed the MRI, a specialist consultation and had surgery - early surgery is indeed good."

"So despite the serious and difficult situation, it was satisfactory. Our entire organization would like to thank Dr. O'Malley, the medical team of the Special Surgery (HSS) and the hotels that provided us with accommodation, who gave Tatum a comfortable recuperation after the operation. At such a depressing moment, this is the best transition."
