Celtics Insider Discusses Jayson Tatum’s Availability for Next Season, The Boston Celtics may have to start the upcoming season without their star player, as one insider doubts Jayson Tatum’s chances of returning despite the team’s optimism.
Tatum tore his Achilles tendon in a non-contact incident while diving for a loose ball late in Game 4 of the 2025 playoffs against the New York Knicks, who went on to eliminate the Celtics. Such injuries typically require a recovery period of a year or more, raising the possibility that Boston could be without Tatum for the entire 2025-26 season.
He was one of three marquee players—alongside Tyrese Haliburton and Damian Lillard—to suffer Achilles injuries during the 2025 postseason before their teams were knocked out.
