Jayson Tatum's Bold Return: Aggressive Play, Career-High Rebounds

0:00On March 25th, Jason Tatum is making a bold return from his ACL injury with the Boston Celtics. The 28-year-old star has jumped right back into heavy action, averaging nearly 30 minutes per game over his first eight outing since. Coming back on March 6th, and his last three games, he's locked 31 minutes each time, putting up 19.1 points and 8.9 rebounds for game. That's a big role right away for a guy who just had major knee surgery. Jeremy Lin, who dealt with his own serious leg injury back in 2017, raved about Tatum's approach on ESPN. Lin pointed out how Tatum is attacking the rim aggressively and grabbing career high rebounds even in fewer minutes than usual. Tatum's shooting isn't quite there yet, with career low percentages from the field and beyond the arc. Still, his usage rate sits at 30.2%, showing he's not holding back on the court. He missed just one game so far, a loss to Oklahoma City on March 12th, and he'll face them again tonight at 7.30pm Eastern Time as Boston.
