Jayson Tatum continues his rise to power
“Process” of Jayson Tatum continues. The Celtics winger took advantage of “MLK Day” to review his progress at a gym in the Detroit suburb of Birmingham with assistant (and former LNB player) Tony Dobbins. In front of the journalists, JT did the longest training session since the rupture of the Achilles tendon, performing shooting and dribbling exercises, as well as one-on-one with contact.
The player appeared in good form, even offering himself a few dunks, which is proof that he has already taken this crucial step, in terms of starting and receiving. Having surgery eight months and a week ago, Jayson Tatum initially gave himself between eight and nine months to get back to 100%. It is clear that he is slowly reaching the end!
“It was amazing to see”Derrick White said of his teammate’s daily progress. “Of course, there’s all the work he’s putting in. We’re just seeing more and more of him in the gym and being able to do more and more things. It’s exciting to see him as a friend. He’s been working hard every day and it’s great to see more movement and opportunities added to all that hard work.”
It’s out of the question, however, that the Celtics will put even the slightest bit of pressure on him, especially given the very good season the men are having Joe Mazzulla without him.
“I don’t know where it is”, reassure the coach’s son. “I just trust the staff that’s looking after his strength and his physical preparation. I know they’re working very hard to put him in a position to succeed, and they’re making sure he’s improving every day.”
“He wants to come back and play”
Along with his rehab, JT has become his team’s number one fan, regularly accompanying him on road trips, as was the case in Detroit. After all, Boston has barely started the second part of its regular season, which still leaves time for Jayson Tatum to return in the best conditions.
Along with his rehabilitation, JT became the first supporter of his team, with whom he regularly travels, as was the case yesterday. After all, Boston has barely started the second part of its regular season, which leaves plenty of time for Jayson Tatum to return to his best conditions.
“He wants to come back and play”Derrick White assured. “He was incredibly supportive, cheering us on every game. Just having him by our side was very nice. I don’t have an exact idea of a possible return date, nor his health, but it’s just nice to see him moving around and supporting us.”
Although Jayson Tatum did not comment after the session, the next step could be right. Why not after the All-Star break?
