"Day 25… days starting to get a little easier," Tatum wrote in post to X on Saturday. It seems he is progressing well through the recovery process, but his particular injury requires long rehab that will likely keep him off the court through most, if not all, of the 2025-26 season.
In the meantime, the Celtics are looking into the options they have this offseason. They will need to make moves to cut costs and get under the second apron. Plus, with Tatum out, they may be compelled to make more drastic moves and mount a semi-rebuild.
The hope for Boston is that going into the 2026-27 season, Tatum is fully healed and ready to guide his team to another championship run.
