Jayson Tatum suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon during the Eastern Conference semifinals, affecting his ability to return for the 2025-26 season. His injury's severity and timing suggest a lengthy recovery. Some experts believe he should be preserved for the future rather than risk premature return. A scout reported Tatum performed well at a camp, impressing observers with his mobility, despite a slight limp. The scout noted Tatum did not wear a boot and appeared to be in great shape, indicating a positive outlook on his recovery progress.
"He was moving really well. There might have been a slight limp or something, but the surprising thing to me is that he didn't have a boot for any of it."
"I'm no doctor, but I've seen guys coming back from Achilles' tears, and he looked way ahead. I was kind of shocked to see how well he was moving."
