Tatum hopes to come back this season! Media person: It’s somewhat full of unknowns, trust professional judgment

Shams said on the "Pat McAfee Show" that Tatum has told the Celtics that he is looking forward to playing in the new season and wants to try to come back later in the new season, but this is obviously a complicated matter.

Media person @Jimengnian commented on this. The original text is as follows:

On the 150th day after the injury, Tatum completed a dunk while jumping off the spot.

Shams said that Tatum hopes to return this season. Based on the current news, Tatum's recovery speed is indeed surprising. On the other hand, don’t forget his “fight-addicted” personality. Also, when athletes reach this level, they naturally need to consider their own commercial value.

However, I am still worried about Tatum returning at the end of the season. It mainly depends on what kind of state the Celtics will be in by then. If there is no hope for the playoffs, it will be okay for Tatum to come back and play a few games to find his form. But if the Celtics have a chance to play in the playoffs, Tatum will come back at this time and directly face the "life-threatening" intensity, which is still somewhat unknown.

No one knows how advanced medicine is now, but judging from past experience, the longer the rest period for serious Achilles tendon injuries, the better the return to the game. But having said that, we all know that Tatum and the professional medical rehabilitation team behind him naturally have their own standards. Trust professional judgment.
