progresifjaya.co.id, JAKARTA – Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum, who is currently undergoing rehabilitation for an Achilles tendon injury, has been virtually always on the team’s side. Tatum is always seen on the bench in almost every Boston Celtics game, both home and away.

The Boston Celtics’ performance has also continued to improve, achieving win after win, in line with Tatum’s progress in rehabilitation.

Then, whispers emerged about Jayson Tatum’s potential return to the court. As time went on, the whispers grew louder and louder. Many hoped the star would soon be back on the court and lead the Boston Celtics to the championship throne, hoping to repeat their achievements in the 2023-2024 season.

In a statement in September, Jayson Tatum admitted he had multiple dates in mind for his return. However, he chose to remain silent when asked about the likelihood of his return to the court while the season is underway. There was no confirmation from him, bro. Well, it seems the silence is a clue from the All-NBA First Team player that he will only be ready to return towards the end of this season.

“Tatum is doing a tremendous job. I think he’s coming to work every day to prepare to play again when he’s healthy,” said Boston Celtics Head Coach Joe Mazzulla on “Zolak and Bertrand.”

“Honestly, there’s hardly a moment where we feel like he’s not with us. And I think that’s important, because he continues to improve,” he added.

Mazzulla also explained that after tearing his Achilles tendon seven months ago, Tatum has been able to continue his rehabilitation process with the same enthusiasm as he did in June.

“It’s been a truly remarkable result. It’s a credit to him, and to his team, and to our medical staff,” Mazzulla added.

It’s undeniable that the Boston Celtics’ steadily improving performance, coupled with Tatum’s potential return, could drastically alter expectations. The Boston Celtics’ ability to re-enter the ranks of championship contenders could be instantly re-established, despite Tatum’s 1000% recovery. Sounds scary and intimidating, right. (Bembo)
