Jayson Tatum appeared on Wednesday at a practice, but not on a basketball court. The star of the Boston Celtics was seen during the joint practice of the New England Patriots with the Washington Commanders, an event he attended as a spectator.
Most notably, Tatum, who underwent surgery in May to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon suffered during the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks, was no longer wearing a walking boot or cast. The absence of these items is a positive sign in the long recovery process that is expected to keep him off the court for most—if not all—of the upcoming NBA season.
During the session, Tatum stayed on the sidelines, chatting with some Patriots players and also with Washington's quarterback, Jayden Daniels. His presence, albeit passive, reinforces recent images circulating on social media where he has been seen working out at the Celtics' training facility gym.
In June, Boston's President of Basketball Operations, Brad Stevens, confirmed that the player is progressing well post-surgery. However, he made it clear that no timetable has been set for his return, emphasizing that no unnecessary risks will be taken in the recovery process.
