Boston Celtics Scares: Jayson Tatum, Closer to Returning

Jayson Tatum fully participated in his first five-on-five practice on Monday alongside teammates from the Boston Celtics roster, Two-Way players, and G League players, a significant step in his return following the Achilles tendon rupture he suffered last year.

"Everyone I spoke with who was aware of Monday's practice said Tatum looked great," stated Shams Charania of ESPN on NBA Today.

"It has been 39 weeks since the Achilles injury today, so it's been a long journey," Tatum told reporters on Tuesday. "And this is part of the rehabilitation progression, it was the next step. It doesn't mean I'm back or I'm not. We're just following the plan. It was just another step forward."

The Next Step

He still has some steps to complete before getting full clearance to return. "At the end of all this, there will be about a dozen people gathered in a room to decide and determine if Jayson Tatum is one hundred percent medically and one percent mentally," added Charania.
