Jayson Tatum Says He’s Out of Boot as Achilles Rehab Ramps Up

Team officials refuse to set a timetable.

Overview

  • He gave his first on-record update in an NBA-posted TikTok, calling rehab “tedious” and confirming he is working six days a week.
  • Tatum said the initial six weeks after surgery were the toughest stretch of his life.
  • He is now out of a walking boot and was recently seen moving on his own at a New England Patriots practice.
  • Boston has provided no return window, noting typical Achilles recoveries span around a year, as outside optimism from relatives pegs an eight- to nine-month target.
  • The Celtics have reshaped the roster for the coming season, with Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porziņģis no longer on the team.
