Jayson Tatum took a hard step, then fell to the ground in great pain, grabbing his lower leg.

In a post on Instagram, Tatum shared a picture of himself giving a thumbs up from his hospital bed with the caption: "Thankful for all the love and support."

The Mayo Clinic said that most people are able to go back to their previous level of physical activity within four to six months of recovery, although problems can continue for up to a year.
