"I got a bad feeling Jayson Tatum is coming back,"
"It's a great thing but I don't think we ever had a player come back from an Achilles [this soon],"
"This dude out here dunking and everything. He's got another four or five months to go. They wouldn't have put him in front of the media in my opinion. They did that intentionally."
The Boston Celtics have exceeded expectations at 28-17 and hold second place in the Eastern Conference. Jayson Tatum continues rehabilitation less than a year after rupturing his Achilles in the 2025 playoffs and completed an hour-long on-court workout that included dunks. No firm timeline exists for a full return, and roster impact could be significant if he returns in any capacity. An NBA Hall of Famer voiced skepticism about such an accelerated recovery, pointing to typical one-year timelines and suggesting the public workout may have been intentional. Concerns focus on readiness, long-term risk, and potential rust.
