A lot will depend upon the date when Jayson Tatum is medically cleared and what the Celtics record is at that point. Always best to err on the side of caution, but you also never know how many chances a group has to compete for a title, so if the doctors, Celtics management, and Tatum are all cool with it, his return prior to the playoffs would be thrilling.
