Jayson Tatum Shares Optimistic Update on Rehab Journey
June 7, 2025 | Boston, MA – Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum provided a hopeful update on his recovery from an Achilles tear, posting on social media, "Day 25… days starting to get a little easier." This marks 25 days since his surgery on May 13, following the injury sustained during the Celtics’ playoff loss to the Knicks.
Tatum’s post is his first significant communication about his recovery since the operation. He expressed gratitude for the support from fans and hinted at a gradual improvement in his condition. The Celtics have been discreet regarding his rehabilitation timeline, with president of basketball operations Brad Stevens acknowledging a "long road ahead" but also emphasizing the advantages of Tatum’s timely surgery.
While the team’s official timeline remains unclear, sources suggest a potential 8 to 9-month recovery period, a pace much faster than the typical year or more that most players face after such injuries. Tatum is reportedly utilizing Kevin Durant’s successful rehab as a model, having undergone similar surgery shortly after his injury. As fans rally behind him, Tatum’s focus on recovery symbolizes hope for the Celtics as the next season approaches.
