Jayson Tatum is undergoing rehab for a ruptured Achilles tendon sustained during the Eastern Conference Semifinals. He is using a walking boot and has started leg strengthening exercises. Seeking advice from Kevin Durant, who also faced an Achilles injury, Tatum has joined other players like Damian Lillard in reaching out for support. Durant praised Tatum's character and work ethic, emphasizing that despite the injury setbacks, these players will continue to grow and excel in their careers.
"Of course, JT and [Damian Lillard] hit me up, I feel like I'm the Achilles guy. I think both of those dudes have shown time and time again that they're going to continue to elevate as individuals and as players. It's a grind, man."
"Those guys are cut from a cloth that they're rare individuals. This is just a little stoppage in their journey to greatness."
