""First thing, I haven't said I'm not playing this season," Tatum said."
""The most important thing is a full recovery. And I'm not rushing it ... at all," Tatum said on First Take. "But also, I don't go to rehab six days a week for nothing.""
""We've all been in communication ... Dejounte, Dame, Tyrese... we're all at different points in our recovery. I text them all the time to ask 'what can you do, and what are you doing in your workouts.' We're all in the same boat, just kind of checking in on each other.""
Jayson Tatum is recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in May during the Eastern Conference semifinals. Tatum has not said he will miss the upcoming season and emphasizes a focus on a full recovery without rushing. Recovery timelines for a ruptured Achilles typically span most or all of a season. Celtics footage shows Tatum working in the weight room, and he attended a New York Patriots practice in August without a walking boot or brace. Tatum rehabs frequently, communicates with Damien Lillard, Dejounte Murray and Tyrese Haliburton about their recoveries, and the Celtics open Oct. 22 against the Philadelphia 76ers.
