Jayson Tatum Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Jayson Tatum remains one of the most closely watched NBA stars as the Boston Celtics navigate a turbulent start to the 2025–26 season, a journey defined by his absence due to a torn Achilles suffered several months ago. In the past 24 hours, the buzz around Tatum has intensified as Celtics legend Isaiah Thomas publicly weighed in, saying he hopes Tatum will play this season but cautioned against risking a premature comeback, reflecting a widespread concern across Boston media outlets. According to NESN and Sporting News, there’s a split among fans and analysts on whether Tatum should prioritize long-term health over a speedy return, particularly when recent history with Achilles injuries has proved disastrous for other players.

On social media, clips of Tatum’s rehab workouts have surfaced, and according to Hardwood Houdini and The Athletic, fellow NBA superstar Kevin Durant, himself an Achilles survivor, has said Tatum “looks amazing” and could feasibly return this season—though he urged caution, having learned the hard way about the dangers of rushing back. This endorsement from Durant has sent Celtics fans into a frenzy online, with trending hashtags such as #JTRehab and debate over tanking strategies for the team’s future.

Jaylen Brown, sharing insights via an NESN interview, revealed that Tatum’s off-court presence continues to impact the team. Tatum has been involved in mentoring teammates behind the scenes, offering strategic advice despite not suiting up. Derrick White even joked lightheartedly about receiving his first technical foul, with Tatum being “proud” of the milestone—a fun footnote in an otherwise tough stretch for the Celtics.

On the business front, Tatum’s endorsement deals remain solid, with promotional material for his signature Jordan Brand sneakers and his nonprofit foundations circulating online. Reports from The Athletic confirm his stature by including him on their prestigious list of the top 25 NBA players of the 21st century, putting him alongside icons like LeBron James and Steph Curry—an honor that cements his lasting influence, even while injured.

The Celtics, meanwhile, have been retooling. As CBS Sports notes, without Tatum and several cost-cutting roster moves, the team is experimenting with different lineups and playing a slower, more chaotic brand of basketball. Their identity has shifted, seeing a mix of scrappy, tryhard performances and nights of wild unpredictability. Despite that, Boston holds a record just above .500, staying scrappy in hopes of Tatum’s eventual comeback.

Speculation persists that the Celtics could look to tank for a high draft pick if Tatum doesn’t return, but most credible voices, from NESN to Hardwood Houdini, say this is unlikely given his behind-the-scenes leadership. As of this morning, verified sources confirm Tatum remains sidelined with no clear return date, and the Celtics are waiting on his recovery before making any major strategic decisions.
