Jayson Tatum sheds boot in encouraging Celtics rehab sign after Achilles tear
NY Post
Jayson Tatum is making strides on his road to recovery.
The Celtics star revealed on Instagram Sunday that he no longer has a boot on his right foot as he heals from the ruptured Achilles tendon he suffered during Game 4 of Boston’s second-round series against the Knicks on May 12.
Tatum underwent surgery about 18 hours after the gruesome injury, and he has been rehabbing throughout the summer.
Before posting his update on Instagram, he was last seen working out with the Chattanooga men’s basketball team at the program’s facility on Friday.
The Celtics have not offered a timetable on Tatum’s return, but the 27-year-old is widely expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2025-26 season.
“He seems to be doing really well. Rehabbing’s hard. Anyone who’s been through a long injury and a long recovery, it’s just a challenge,” Celtics president Brad Stevens said on the broadcast of Boston’s July 13 Summer League game. “Mental challenge, physical challenge, obviously. But he got the surgery right away, and from that point on, his mindset was, ‘We’re going after this thing and trying to get better.’
