Follow usJayson Tatum’s recovery from a torn ACL sustained in May took a big step today with the Boston Celtics assigning him to train with their G League squad.
The franchise revealed Jayson would participate in portions of the training at the Auerbach Center in Boston, along with teammates Hugo Gonzalez and Amari Williams.
After the practice, Tatum will be recalled by Boston and continue to recover.
The organization didn’t provide any additional details on when Jayson will be able to return and play in the NBA.
Boston’s superstar tore his Achilles tendon in the East ½ finals vs. the NY Knicks 9 months ago. His team thrived despite his absence, as they are currently in the 3rd place in the Eastern Conference, behind All-Star Jaylen Brown.
Jayson spoke about his return a few days ago and also talked about whether he might upset the team’s chemistry if he plays again this season.
“That’s something that’s on my mind daily,” Tatum shared. “Boston would have played 50 matches without me. So they have a different style in the current campaign, and that’s working for them now.”
Jayson Tatum will be assigned to participate in portions of the Maine Celtics' practice Monday afternoon.
