Returning ‘soon’? C’s fans will love Tatum’s latest workout videos originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Could Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum return sooner than expected from his devastating Achilles injury?
On Tuesday, Tatum posted videos to his Instagram story of himself looking spry on the court. His Achilles didn’t seem to bother him while he played 1-on-1 at the Auerbach Center.
You can watch the video below:
Tatum was expected to miss most — if not all — of the 2025-26 NBA season when he went down in May. Now, it appears the six-time All-Star’s return may be closer than just about anyone anticipated.
Tatum also teased C’s fans Monday with a one-word message on his IG story: “Soon.”
Even if Tatum continues to show stunning progress in his recovery, the Celtics shouldn’t re-insert him into the lineup until he is 100 percent. That said, a healthy Tatum could take Boston back to the top of the Eastern Conference standings. The C’s are currently in third place amidst a five-game win streak, only four games behind the conference-leading Detroit Pistons.
Boston will look to stay hot when it visits the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night.
