Is there anything funny about Jayson Tatum’s recent comments that he may not return this season? The Celtics superstar is nearing the end of his rehab for the torn Achilles tendon he suffered against the New York Knicks in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals, and the team’s fans were enraged by how well the team would play with him back in the fold after a surprisingly good start under his wing co-star Jaylen Brown and a young, hungry cohort of bigs and wings.
But then the St. Louis native appeared on a podcast and hinted at some trepidation about returning to the Celtics. After that, another report hinted that Tatum might not return to action in the 2025-26 NBA regular season after all. What exactly is going on here?
