Jayson Tatum was staring at a long road back to the hardwood in May after he ruptured his Achilles tendon during the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks.
Suffering such a devastating injury so late in the year — coupled with the arduous recovery timeline prescribed — seemingly made a potential return in 2025-26 unlikely for Boston’s best player.
But, speaking to People magazine earlier this week, Tatum said that he’s not ruling out a return at some point during this upcoming season.
“I’m doing everything in my power to get back as healthy as I can, as fast as I can,” Tatum told People.
