Jayson Tatum has undergone surgery to repair torn Achilles tendon (Back On Feet Doing Low Intensity Drills)

[UpAndComing]

I think it also depends on the team's record and wether or not we can convince another team to take Simons' contract off our hands and go after another quality big man. If we are a playoff team, and we get front court help, JT will try and comeback.

I got a feeling Tatum will try to make a comeback regardless. He looks dead set on it

He was on First Take saying things like "My team will hold the fort down till I comeback"

I'll say the end of March or Early April barring any setbacks, or God forbid re-injury.

I've been steady saying that he should at least gun for playing the last 15 games of the season. That way he'll be 100% more confident in his body, and knows what to work on for the 2026 summer, and eventually the 26-27 season

He should just follow what KD did and take the entire season off.

KD took 18 months off because of Covid/The Bubble

Hate when people use that comparison

Right idea but circumstances also helped with that one. Tatum is at the right age where he should be fine to resume playing at 8-9 months post injury/surgery. The older the athlete I.e. post athletic peak 29-30 it should be a little bit longer. Someone like Dame shouldnt be seen till Oct 2026. The 5-6 months recovery and playing again doesn't really work out.

He should be ready by end of nov

Controlled movements nothing explosive. Par for the course 4 months in.

We don't need him for just this year, we need him for the next 10. Careful.

fukk a Knicks Celtics beef God bless him hope he makes it to the court this season at some point.

bulls gonna have some comp for that play in spot

I tore my Achilles when I was younger. It’s amazing what they can do now. I still wouldn’t rush it

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Tatum needs to sit his ass down, and take his time with the recovery. Celtics already punted this season, no need to rush back to a play-in team.

KD was taking off the entire 2019-20 season regardless of Covir. The point is it worked so why not just follow it.

Why not just wait? Celtics aren’t doing anything this season regardless.
