Report: Jayson Tatum is not ruling out playing this upcoming season

[god shamgod]

Kobe tore his Achilles in April had surgery the next day, was cleared for basketball in November on the court in December of the same year

This is besides the point , a 35 year old recovered from the same injury in 7-8 months. That’s all I was saying

Tatum 27 and can do the same

an Achilles is a 6-9 month recovery

It’s not a 18 month procedure



Tatum pops said docs told them 8-9 months

He’ll be back in March/April ‘26

Told y’all ,unless he has a setback Tatum playing next spring

Coli md’s don’t know shyt

NOW is the time for load management.

Don’t rush back Baby Hair 2.

He won’t learn until his career is done. He better strengthen up.

Jayson Tatum suffered his Achilles tear on May 13, 2025. He had surgery less than 24 hours from when he suffered the injury, which is unheard of, but could prove to be invaluable.

Dr. Martin O’Malley performed the surgery and he was the only physician on a newly released cutting edge paper regarding Achilles rehabilitation.

If we look at the ‘Return to Sport’ in this paper, it lists 24+ weeks, assuming he hits all of his benchmarks of recovery (isokinetic/isometric strength >90% LSI)

That would put the date as October 28, 2025.

Assuming no setbacks I think November/December is possible, but January is probably more realistic.

The future of Achilles reconstructions and returns in (elite) athletes is here!!!

Yeah seeing Tatum move like that was wild to witness. He deadass may come back after the all star break.

He playing this season, look at him after 4 months. I like that he wants to play instead of milking it. He’s a baller. Might come back during Christmas.

Why is he doing Pharmaceutical drug pitches on morning tv when he's going to be making $500 million off the NBA?
