Jayson Tatum may be back before someone expected.
There is Buzz that the wounded Celtics -Superster could already return from his torn Achilles in March, According to NBA Insider Jake Fischer.
Tatum sustained the crushing injury in May and there has been a lot of speculation about whether he will play this next season, but a recent video that came to the fore has created optimism.
“The news and video from Jayson Tatum that is back on the floor for his recovery in Boston is something that surprised the competition during this Mediadagweek where we are currently,” Fischer said in a video posted on Friday. “What does this mean in terms of the ultimate return of Jayson Tatum? That there is certainly Buzz that Tatum could possibly be back somewhere in March.”
Fischer, however, warned that there will be a lot about how Boston is doing this season, besides how close to full force Tatum believes that he is late in the season.
“I think that’s the ultimate detail here,” Fischer added. “The context of Boston’s season will be very important what is ultimately for the return of Jayson Tatum.”
The chatter around the potential return of Tatum has taken a positive turn in the midst of the training video that the team released September 28 and his recent cheerful comments.
The 21 -second video shows Tatum weights while they also dribble, run and shoot.
“I am rusty as a mother F – Ker,” Tatum said laughing to close the video.
Tatum’s Outlook from 2025-26 did not seem so rosy when he put his Achilles against the Knicks in Game 4 of the semi-finals of the Eastern Conference on 12 May 2025.
He was operated on the next day.
Much expected Tatum would be sidelined for at least a year because of the corresponding timeline with the injury, which would open the door for a return to the chance that the Celtics will make a deep play -off run.
Tatum revealed last month that he participated in his first on-Court training and although he was optimistic, he did not commit himself to return to a chat with Sports Illustrated next year.
“I didn’t say I’m coming back, and I didn’t say that I’m not,” Said Tatum. “It is a few different reasons. For me to say,” Yo, I’m not coming back this year, “I don’t know. I need something to look forward to. Going to rehabilitation every day, I need a goal or something that I try to chase. And I may not come back this year, but I have to feel like I attack something.
The Celtics responded this low season as if they will not have a tatum and will not be championship candidates, Jettisming Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford run in cost -saving maneuvers.
The Eastern Conference has two heavyweights in the Knicks and Cavaliers and there is a chance for another team to make a push, and the Celtics still have enough talent to make a run.
Fischer noted that Boston considers itself more a competition for this season than Indiana, who has already excluded Tyrese Haliburton the year after he sustained the same injury in game 7 of the NBA Finals, which opens the door, Tatum must feel strong enough and the team is competitive.
Despite all the rosy optimism, the people around the franchise do not expect to hunt Banner No. 19.
“But what happens when (tatum is) 100 percent and boston is somewhat in the play -off photo. The Celtics have no form of Indiana Pacers stopgap year in mind … From all my conversations in the competition, the Celtics still seem to have an idea of ​​an idea of ​​an idea in the east in the east.” “That does not mean that the Celtics simply expect them to compete for a championship, I don’t think someone in Boston sees this current Celtics -Roster without Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, without Horford, without Horford, as a team that will not consider a championship. All.”
