But this week, in a social media post ( via Celtics Blog's Noa Dalzell), Tatum opened up about his injury, how he has been dealing with it, and what comes next for the Duke alum. "Rehab is tedious, man — six days a week. It’s starting to get a little bit better now, I’m out the boot now," said Tatum.

In his first public comments since rupturing his Achilles in May, Jayson Tatum shared a positive update on his arduous rehab process.

One former team fan favorite, Brian Scalabrine, spoke out with a blunt reality check about Tatum. He detailed how coming back in the middle of a season might be a big mistake for the 27-year-old superstar. During a segment on the "Celtics Talk" podcast, Scalabrine made his thoughts clear.
