Jayson Tatum is likely to miss the entire 2025-26 season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, which he injured in late May. The Celtics are cautious about his return, especially given the late timing of the injury and the challenging recovery process. Boston's management may choose not to rush Tatum back in late March or early April, particularly if they are preparing for a rebuilding season. Team president Rich Gotham acknowledged Tatum's commitment to recovery while avoiding definitive timetables for his return.
"What I know about JT is, he's gonna do everything he can to put us in a position to make a decision. He's gonna work hard to get back as soon as he can, and we'll see how soon that is."
"That's a down-the-road question. That's one you can't really answer today. But for right now, we're not really looking at timetables."
