"Tatum told reporters on Monday that the stiffness in his knee would be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. He added that he was confident that he would have been able to play in the second round if the Celtics advanced."
""Experienced some tightness back there," Tatum said. "It was just unfortunate timing but it was, I guess, a little bit to be expected. I was away for ten-and-a-half months and then I'm back and I'm playing every other day.""
""I'm playing 36-40 minutes, so it's not unusual that something would come up. It was just kind of tough because rehab was going so well the entire time. I guess it was kind of inevitable that I would experience some issues.""
Jayson Tatum addressed his knee injury during the Celtics' end-of-season press conferences. He missed Game 7 against Philadelphia due to stiffness, a decision made by the medical team shortly before the game. Tatum had undergone a lengthy recovery from Achilles' tendon surgery and expressed confidence in his ability to play if the team advanced. He noted the challenges of returning to play after a long absence and the physical demands of the game, which contributed to his injury.
