Jayson Tatum expected to log 36 minutes per game for Celtics in 2026‑27 season

Boston Celtics insider Jay Kings projects forward Jayson Tatum will average about 36 minutes per game in the 2026‑27 NBA season, indicating a heavy workload despite his recent recovery from a torn Achilles suffered in the 2025 playoffs. Tatum returned in March 2026, playing 16 regular‑season games and logging nearly 33 minutes per contest, including a 40‑minute effort shortly after his comeback.

Off the court, Tatum resides in a historic 1848 Gothic‑Revival home in West Newton, Massachusetts. The 2,382‑square‑foot property features four bedrooms, two bathrooms and is listed for roughly $3.1 million, reflecting his family‑focused lifestyle away from Boston’s arena lights.
