www.tmz.comHere’s the latest on Jayson Tatum:
- He is making progress toward a return after his Achilles injury and was listed as questionable for an upcoming Celtics game in early March 2026, signaling he could be nearing a comeback. This marks a significant step after his season-ending injury last spring.[1][2]
- Multiple outlets have reported ongoing rehabilitation with emphasis on his readiness and mental confidence, with reports noting he would return only when physically and mentally prepared. ESPN also noted that he was sitting out certain back-to-back games as he nears a potential return, underlining the team’s cautious approach.[4][5]
- By May 2026, Boston’s updates suggested he remained a key factor in their postseason plans, with ongoing discussion about his availability for pivotal playoff games and the Celtics’ depth relying more on other players if he’s limited. TMZ and other outlets covered his gradual return timeline and the impact on the Celtics’ rotations.[3][6]
Illustration: If you’re tracking a typical comeback arc for an Achilles injury, expect progression from full-contact practices to five-on-five scrimmages, then live-game action, with the coaching staff balancing load management and playoff readiness.
