""It is up in the air on if he's going to return at all this season," Haynes said. "I was told there were a couple of factors of why he's reached that point. But as of right now, that changes the whole landscape because Tatum even told me personally he was returning at some point. He was getting to return and he was getting close. I was hearing he was getting close and league sources told me that the situation has changed.""
""More so about the team. If or when I do come back this season, they will have played 50 some-odd games without me, so they have an identity this year or things that they've felt have clicked for them. And it's been successful. So there is a thought in my head, like, how does that work? Or how does that look with me integrating myself off the injury ... 50, 60 games into a season? There obviously could be some challenges," Tatum added."
Jayson Tatum is rehabbing from a ruptured Achilles tendon and previously targeted a return this season, but his comeback now appears uncertain. His status has been described as "up in the air" because unspecified factors altered the situation. Tatum has attended Celtics practices and shootarounds while rebuilding game shape. He has expressed hesitation about joining a team that has developed an identity over 50–60 games without him, citing potential integration challenges. The uncertainty affects Celtics planning and could influence roster decisions and strategy for the remainder of the season.
