Tatum Returns to Garden, Celtics Title Hunt On

0:00It's April 8th. Welcome in. This is Boston Celtics News today, where your team meets AI. I'm Corey with the story. Jason Tatum and the Boston Celtics hit to Madison Square Garden Thursday night for a matchup against the New York Knicks. It's his first time back since rupturing his right Achilles tendon in Game 4 of last season's Eastern Conference in my finals. That injury sideline the six-time All-Star and forced major surgery the very next day. After nearly 10 months of intense rehab, Tatum made his season debut on March 6th. He's since played 15 games, putting up averages of over 20 points in 10 rebounds per night as the playoffs heat up. Tatum admits the return, stirs up some nerves, knowing he'd eventually face this mental hurdle. Last year's loss ended his postseason run abruptly, but he's focused on moving past it. Now fully healthy, he's locked in with the Celtics chasing another deep playoff push. This shall say his recovery has been smooth, boosting Boston's front court depth.

1:01Thursday's game tests, if Tatum can shake off those garden ghosts and keep dominating, setting the tone for Boston's title hunt.
