Jayson Tatum Shares On-Court Progress as Celtics Maintain No Return Timeline

Team officials say there is no timetable for his return.

Overview

  • Tatum posted a new video showing him jogging and getting shots up, offering his clearest look yet at on-court activity since his Achilles tear.
  • He said he completed his first brief basketball workout earlier in the week—about 15 to 20 minutes—and outlined next steps of sprinting and changing directions.
  • The All-Star reiterated he will not rule out playing in 2025–26 but described rehab as a day-to-day process without setting a target date.
  • President of basketball operations Brad Stevens praised Tatum’s diligence and reiterated the organization’s stance of setting no timelines and prioritizing full recovery.
  • After trading Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday to ease cap pressures, Boston enters camp planning to lean on Jaylen Brown and Derrick White while monitoring Tatum’s progress.
