While Jayson Tatum (the current Chief Basketball Officer in Durham) was never able to secure that National Championship for the Blue Devils, the former Duke star has gone on to win quite a few titles as a pro, finally securing an NBA Championship in 2024.
However, during the Boston Celtics' run through the postseason last year, Tatum had to leave Game 4 against the New York Knicks with an Achilles injury. The Duke Blue Devil still has yet to return to the court.
Despite being sidelined, Tatum has been a visibly vocal teammate as the Celtics started the season 2-3 overall, clearly missing his presence in the game itself.
