Could Jayson Tatum return to the court at some point before the 2025-26 season wraps? Celtics president Rich Gotham gave his take.

The Celtics star made an appearance at the New England Patriots’ joint training camp practice with the Washington Commanders. Tatum, who had surgery in May to repair the ruptured right Achilles tendon injury he suffered in Boston’s Eastern Conference semifinal loss to the New York Knicks, was seen walking without a boot or brace.

Nearly three months removed from a devastating torn Achilles injury, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is looking more comfortable using his legs.

When the Boston Celtics fell to the New York Knicks in the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs, you knew it was the end of a short-lived era. Brad Stevens had assembled a highly talented, but incredibly expensive roster that would have cost the franchise close to $500 million in payroll next season.

First, the Celtics traded Georges Niang and two second-round draft picks to the Jazz for undrafted two-way wing RJ Luis. They then signed forward Chris Boucher to a one-year contract. All in all, they get off Niang’s $8.
