Jayson Tatum Shares On-Court Rehab Video 19 Weeks After Achilles Surgery

Team officials maintain no timetable, with his surgeon citing unusually strong early calf recovery.

Overview

  • In a YouTube post, Tatum jogged, took shots and ran light drills at the Auerbach Center, saying he felt “rusty.”
  • The workout came roughly 19 to 19.5 weeks after his May 12 rupture and May 13 repair, following a 15–20 minute court session earlier in the week.
  • Tatum said he is rehabbing six days a week and has not ruled out playing in 2025–26, but no return date has been set.
  • Celtics executive Brad Stevens reiterated there are “no timelines” and emphasized he will not consider a return until Tatum is fully cleared.
  • Surgeon Dr. Martin O’Malley reported exceptional early calf strength, and Kevin Durant reacted on X by calling the progress “insane.”
