Jayson Tatum could end up missing the entire upcoming NBA season due to a torn Achilles.
The Boston Celtics forward went down with his injury during the second round of the NBA Playoffs. The assumption is that Tatum will spend the entire 2025-2026 season rehabbing, but the Celtics’ star made it clear that he’s not willing to rule himself out for the year.
Tatum seems to be making great progress—and potentially ahead of schedule—but he’s still taking it one day at a time while being optimistic. Lately, he’s been seeking advice from two other NBA stars, who are playing critical roles in his recovery.
