[Charania] Jayson Tatum has informed the Celtics that he wants to play later this season

Makes sense for him to do the 2015 PG
idk man, I trust the world class medical staff than arm chair experts on this
If he’s cleared fuck it play the team will still have to start him slow anyways
Let his doctors cook
Well if the doctors say he’s ready then why wouldn’t he play? Lol he’s definitely coming back this season whether ppl like it or not

Hear me out. Cs play .500 hoops through January, Tatum starts to ease back Cs improve incrementally as he sees more minutes. Then out of the blue Curry and Butler have season ending injuries and Dray gets arrested for assaulting a hot dog vendor. The warriors in a move to shed salary trade Al back to the Cs for a 2nd rounder right at the trade deadline and BOOM just like that the band is back together and the Cs win another title!
I’m the type of guy that will go a whole offseason with completely realistic expectations for this team and then watch the role players look decent in one meaningless preseason game and hear that JT wants to come back late in the year and be all the way back in on another banner
Our goat really built different
No shit. NBA player who loves the game wants to play again as soon as he can lol thanks shams
The video didn’t even really say that lmao
Said the Celtics are cautiously optimistic, that he has a goal in mind to come back (which we knew) and that his return will be determined by where the team is at
I want to marry Sabrina Carpenter but we all gotta be realistic JT
Just chill and don’t rush back
just mentally to be able to play NBA basketball while do wonders for any doubts he has on if he can come back to the same player.
Going into the offseason with that uncertainty would suck.
So, first off, 12 months recovery time is a very old timetable. With the advancement of medicine, that has been dramatically reduced for those who put in the work. Perfect example: Cam Akers in the NFL came back from a fully torn achilles in 5.5 months. That is the utter extreme, so hoping Tatum is back in 10 months vs 12 is no where near out of the realm of possibility. The normal time for return in the NBA is around 10 months.
He can say that but it’s not up to him. Brad and the med staff have to be 1000% confident. Probably won’t happen, but maybe a slim chance. Idk man but at least it gives me a glimmer of hope for this season. Ig they’re not tanking, or at least outright trying to
Whatever the doctors say.
Highly competitive athlete wants to play sport.
No shit he wants to play this year if he can. Shams is useless.
Chams is a tool
Funny how when you said he should be able to play this year a few months ago you got downvoted to the moon by the crowd that gets off on tanking…
Don’t do this.
All we need to do is make the playoffs. Anything is possible from there. I’m dying to get revenge on the Knicks.
I wish this was like in the movie Click where I could just fast forward to Jayson Tatum first game back.
I really hope he doesn’t 😞
A return right after the all-star break in February would be nine months since the injury. I’m not sure why that isn’t at least possible, other athletes have returned on similar timelines.
