Jayson Tatum completes Achilles recovery ahead of Celtics training camp

Jayson Tatum has completed his recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon as he prepares for his 10th NBA season with the Boston Celtics. After spending much of the previous year rehabbing from surgery, Tatum expressed a renewed appreciation for training camp and being part of team practices.

Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla addressed concerns regarding player health, noting that the team relies on sports science and trainers to manage workloads. Mazzulla indicated that the team will not mandate an 82-game standard, acknowledging the need to manage a roster that includes players with recent injury histories, such as Paul George and Mitchell Robinson.
