Jayson Tatum’s 2-Word Social Media Message Amidst Injury Recovery
On Monday night, The Boston Celtics picked themselves up their first win of the season with a comfortable win on the road over the winless New Orleans Pelicans. It was a much-needed effort from Boston, which ran out of the gate to an 0-3 start thanks in large part to injury the absence of Jayson Tatum.
Tatum, of course, tore his Achilles in last year’s playoff series against the New York Knicks, but he’s already seemingly made significant progress in his recovery, posting videos of himself running through basketball drills and dunks over the past month.
On Tuesday, Tatum appeared on his account on X, formerly Twitter, with simple message as his recovery continues.
Tatum has done a good job of keeping fans informed of his recovery and showing people what the process is really like for an athlete recovering from one of the most devastating injuries a basketball player can suffer.
Tatum will hope to follow in the footsteps of players like Kevin Durant, who successfully recovered from the same injury.
A unique season for the Celtics
Boston Celtics fans have enjoyed playoff basketball every season since 2013-14, and that streak certainly looks to be in danger of ending this year with Tatum sidelined and Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis traded in the offseason.
While some fans would like to see the team continue to compete with Jaylen Brown and Derrick White leading the way, others are hoping Boston goes all out and lands Tim Duncan on a Spurs-like heist next summer with a high lottery pick in a class that looks to be loaded with top talent.
It’s unlikely that head coach Joe Mazzula would even consider trying to lose to secure a top-three pick, but he might not have to if the Celtics continue to play like they have in the first three games.
Boston will next take the floor on Wednesday at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
