Celtics Eyeing EuroLeague MVP to Help Replace Jayson Tatum originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Celtics could pursue a disabled player exception for Jayson Tatum but it's unlikely to help them with their current conundrum.

Durant was among the group of players who were out for over a year following his Achilles tear, making his return to action 18 months after the injury (although the COVID pandemic played a hand in that). Tatum is reportedly using Durant’s rehab as a template for his road to recovery.
