Jayson Tatum might not play for his Boston Celtics during the 2025-26 season, but he is going to do everything in his power to heal.
He has been resting and recovering since his awful Achilles injury at the end of last season, and it’s going to take him a long time to get to 100 percent again.
But according to Zolak & Bertrand, Tatum is headed in the right direction.
“He has been inside the building at the Celtics’ facility with their people… almost every single day for months,” via Zolak and Bertrand.

This “no days off” approach to healing proves that Tatum isn’t content to sit on the sidelines.
He knows his body doesn’t heal overnight, but he isn’t going to patiently wait and will push himself in healthy and appropriate ways.
The Celtics will try to get by without him in 2025-26, but it’s going to be a tough road for them.
Tatum was the most important player in their lineup, and they are losing a massive part of their identity with his absence.
They have also parted ways with some other players, making the entire situation more difficult.
Many people don’t believe they have what it takes to reach the Finals in the upcoming season, but they are still hoping for something impressive from the Celtics.
All the while, Tatum will be watching and rooting for his squad, even if he can’t get on the court and help them.
He is going to be with the team a lot, working out and healing behind the scenes.
This latest update proves that Tatum is still a huge fan of his Celtics, no matter his current health situation.
