Jayson Tatum Reacts to Celtics' New Post on Jrue Holiday After Departure originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Celtics will look a lot different when the 2025-26 NBA season tips off. The team will be without Jayson Tatum, who is recovering from the Achilles injury he suffered during the 2025 postseason.

President of Celtics Basketball Operations Brad Stevens hasn’t shared an update regarding Jayson Tatum’s return from the Achilles tear he sustained during the playoffs, but noted the superstar has been at the team facility nearly “every day.

Tatum posted a video on Instagram of him doing some exercises in a pool as he looks to recover. His torn Achilles is going to be a storyline in his career moving forward, but if he continues to rehab well, it might not be much of a problem for his long-term outlook.
