Jayson Tatum Returns from Achilles Injury

0:00For the NBA, it's March 5th, and here's what's going on. Boston's Celtic star Jason Tatum could return to the court this week after months of rehab from an Achilles injury. The six-time All-Star is now questionable for Friday's home game against the Dallas Mavericks at 7 p.m. Eastern on ESPN. Reports say he's ready and will give the team a final call soon. Tatum tore his right Achilles tendon in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals against the New York Knicks last season. He's been on a fast track to recovery, practicing with the team's G League affiliate in early February. That's about 10 months since the injury happened. The Celtics are sitting pretty at 41 wins and 21 losses, holding second place in the East. Tatum has been careful not to rush back and mess with the team's strong run without him. He mentioned feeling better each day, while sticking to his rehab plan. He's expected to make his 2025-26 season debut against Dallas if all goes well. The team upgraded his status today, showing real progress in his workouts. Last season, Tatum put up 26.8 points, 8.7 rebounds,
