Jayson Tatum completed an hour-long workout in front of the media Monday morning at Seaholm High School as the Celtics prepared for a game in Detroit. Most of his rehabilitation since rupturing his Achilles last spring has been done away from public view, and the session offered a rare look at his progress. Assistant coaches led drills that included shooting off screens, pull-up jumpers, drives through contact and several dunks. The Celtics have not announced a timeline for Tatum's return to game action.
Key points:
- The workout lasted about an hour and took place during a team shootaround at Seaholm High School.
- Drills included shooting off screens, pull-up jump shots, driving through contact, and a few dunks.
- Tatum ruptured his Achilles last spring and has spent most of his rehabilitation privately until this session.
- Teammate Derrick White described it as "amazing to see" the progress and noted Tatum's increased movement and presence around the team.
- Coach Joe Mazzulla said he does not know Tatum's exact status and expressed trust in the strength and sports science staff overseeing the rehab.
- The Celtics have not set a timeline for Tatum's return; the team is 26-15 and has continued to perform in his absence.
Summary:
Tatum's public workout showed measurable on-court movement and offered a visible sign of progress in his recovery from a ruptured Achilles. The club has not provided a timetable for his return, and the approach to the remainder of his rehabilitation is undetermined at this time.
