Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum has undergone successful surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon, the team announced today. While no official timetable has been set for his return, medical experts suggest that recovery from such an injury typically takes 6 to 12 months, depending on the treatment and rehabilitation process.
Tatum, 26, reportedly suffered the injury during a recent offseason workout. The Celtics have not yet provided details on the incident but assured fans that Tatum is in good hands and is expected to make a full recovery.
“He’s a fighter and has access to the best medical care,” said a Celtics team official. “We’re confident he’ll come back stronger.”
The news comes as a major blow for Boston, especially after Tatum’s stellar performance during the past season where he led the team deep into the playoffs and solidified his status as one of the NBA’s premier talents.
Achilles injuries are notoriously tough on athletes, but several stars—such as Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant—have made successful returns. Durant, for example, tore his Achilles in 2019 and returned over a year later, regaining elite form.
The Celtics have not ruled out the possibility of Tatum missing the entire 2025 NBA season. However, the franchise and fans alike remain optimistic.
Further updates on Tatum’s progress and recovery will be shared in due time.
