Tatum - out since rupturing his Achilles tendon in May 2025 - was assigned to the Maine Celtics on Monday, per a team release. According to the announcement, the star forward expected to take part in practices with the team at the Auerbach Center in Brighton."
"Despite the lengthy recovery timeline that comes with an Achilles tear, Tatum has seemingly been ahead of schedule for months. He posted videos of himself dunking in October, and even held an hour-long workout session in front of reporters in Detroit last month. On Sunday, ESPN's Shams Charania reported that Tatum had been participating in controlled 5-on-5 scrimmages with coaches."
