"I'm figuring it out as I go. Still very much a part of the team, being at practice and the games and things like that. Obviously I won't be able to participate at practice, so that's going to be tough, but just being integrated and being around as much as I can while still rehabbing and getting myself right."
"It's tough to answer that question in 45 seconds, but I think, for me? There's been bright spots, and getting back on the court and being able to participate in a basketball workout was definitely one of the more bright spots of this journey. It just felt really good to be on the court and dribbling the basketball, going through a workout, feeling like a basketball player again."
Jayson Tatum, a 27-year-old forward entering his ninth NBA season, is recovering from a ruptured Achilles suffered during the Eastern Conference Semifinals in May. He has not set a timeline for return but has posted videos of workouts and participated in on-court activity as part of rehabilitation. Tatum attends practices and games to stay integrated with the team despite not being able to physically participate. The rehab process has been difficult and required passing multiple benchmarks, but he reports bright spots, including feeling like a basketball player again during recent workouts and maintaining an upbeat outlook.
