Jayson Tatum's Achilles Comeback: A Celtics Legend

0:00On April 22nd, Jason Tatum's defying all odds this season, bouncing back on the court just 10 months after a nasty Achilles tear that had folks. Thinking he'd missed the whole year. The Boston Celtic star credits his head trainer, Nick Sang, for guiding him through that grueling rehab every single day. Their partnership didn't start smooth though. Tatum walked into those early workouts feeling rough, not knowing Sang or the staff, and honestly not thrilled about landing in Boston after getting drafted there. Growing up in St. Louis, J.T. was all about the Lakers and Kobe Bryant, idolizing those epic battles between LA and Boston back in the late two. Thousands. But the draft in 2017 flipped the script, making him the third overall pick for the Celtics instead of his dream team. Fast forward, and under Sang's watch, the 28-year-old hit full speed in a month. No re-injury scares. That showed big time in the playoffs when Boston crushed the Philadelphia 76ers, 123-91, with Tatum dropping.

1:0225 points, 11 boards, and 7 assists. Now Tatum's carving his spot in Celtic's legend, body on the line, widening that championship gap over LA, while chasing ring number two. Stay locked in with Boston Celtics News Today, AI-powered updates. I'm Corey with The Story.
