Jalen Brown shared that Tatum looks strong and is hitting all the recovery milestones, stressing the importance of feeling mentally ready too. Others who practice with him agreed he moves like his old self. Recent updates confirmed Tatum is fully clear for scrimmages and just needs to ramp up his conditioning to NBA levels.
