Jayson Tatum is rejoining Duke in an official capacity, though he won’t be featuring for the Blue Devils on the court.
Tatum, who attended Duke prior to being drafted by the Celtics in 2017, was announced on Tuesday as the school’s first ever “Chief Basketball Officer,” a newly created role that the Celtics star is volunteering for.
Per the Duke announcement, Tatum’s duties as CBO will be (among other things) to help the school foster development and team building, mentor current players, “join periodic virtual sessions” to provide input, and to share feedback.
