Overview

• Tatum said on First Take that he has not ruled out playing this season and that he is rehabbing six days a week.
• Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer reported buzz about a possible return in March, which remains unconfirmed and dependent on medical signoffs.
• Newsweek reported that Tatum returned to the court in a limited capacity roughly four months after his injury.
• Achilles recoveries typically take about 6–12 months, so any appearance this season would be unusual and not guaranteed.
• Coverage describes him as physically ahead of schedule, with some attributing early gains to advanced surgical technique, while Boston has not set a target date.
