Achilles Tendon

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is making progress in his recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon, reportedly joining controlled 5-on-5 scrimmages with coaches. Less than a year after the injury sustained in last May's playoffs against the New York Knicks, Tatum remains without a return timetable for the 2025-2026 season. His hesitation stems partly from the team's strong performance in his absence.
