Jayson Tatum, one of the NBA’s rising stars, was sidelined last season due to an Achilles tendon injury that necessitated surgery. Now in the recovery phase, focusing on muscle strengthening, Tatum is optimistic about the upcoming season with the Boston Celtics.

During an appearance on “Today With Jenna & Friends,” Tatum was queried about his prospects for returning this season. His answer was noncommittal, noting that he is still navigating the complexities of recovery.

“That’s the million-dollar question,” Tatum remarked. “For me, my team, the doctors, and the organization, the priority is a full recovery, getting back to 100%. No rushing it. But I haven’t said, ‘I’m not playing this season,’ or anything definitive.”

This statement has left Celtics fans pondering his potential return.
