Celtics React to Jayson Tatum's Exciting Message on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been almost a month since Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles during the 2025 NBA Playoffs. The Boston Celtics star will be sidelined indefinitely and may not play during the 2025-26 season.

The Boston Celtics saw their season come to an end in the second round of the playoffs against the New York Knicks. Unfortunately, that series loss also came with Jayson Tatum tearing his Achilles in Game 4.

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.
