Jayson Tatum has not ruled anything out when it comes to potentially returning to the court at some point during the 2025-26 season.
Despite rupturing his Achilles tendon during the Eastern Conference Semifinals in May, Tatum is already back on the court and dunking — a sizable step forward in what was expected to be an arduous rehab process.
“I’m in a really good spot. … So how has it been? It’s been a long journey,” Tatum said at Boston’s Media Day. “It’s tough to answer that question in 45 seconds, but I think, for me, there’s been bright spots, and getting back on the court and being able to participate in a basketball workout was definitely one of the more bright spots of this journey.
