As the ramp-up intensifies for Jayson Tatum, everyone and their cousin has some take, prediction, speculation, or conspiracy theory on when he’ll return to play for the Celtics. He ruptured his achilles back in May, immediately went under the knife, and has seemingly been aggressively rehabbing around the clock ever since.
He’s progressed to 5-on-5 scrimmaging and practicing with the Maine Celtics, and he announced a mini docuseries on NBC chronicling his recovery. All signs are pointing to a comeback, and possibly very soon, but we still haven’t heard anything definitive.
Some have expressed optimism, some have expressed caution, and some have expressed some combination.
