Celtics' Jayson Tatum Provides 'Tedious' Rehab Update Months After Devastating Achilles Injury

Jayson Tatum is focused on full recovery after rupturing his Achilles tendon during last season's playoffs, with scouts noting promising rehab progress so far.

  • Jayson Tatum, a key player for the Boston Celtics, tore his Achilles tendon during the fourth game of the playoff series against the New York Knicks earlier this year.
  • The injury ended Tatum's season, leading to a lengthy and tedious rehabilitation process that began immediately after the diagnosis.
  • Tatum has since shared occasional updates, describing rehab as "tedious" but noting gradual month-by-month improvement and that he is no longer wearing a walking boot.
  • He called the first six weeks of rehab the toughest in his life and said he must do everything possible to return to playing, while Celtics officials have avoided setting a specific return timeline.
  • Tatum continues to work hard on recovery without a set return date, and the Celtics are preparing for his eventual comeback amid a roster retooling and missing key players from their recent championship squad.
