Jayson Tatum expressed confidence about his knee recovery, stating, "That was just a tough stretch. I think we played like 6 games in 9 days. But it's definitely getting better... I'm feeling a lot better." He emphasized the workload contributed to his right patella tendinopathy, but he's resilient and recovering well.
Tatum acknowledged that fatigue from playing significant minutes contributed to his knee issues, stating, "It's not just this season that's taken a toll on my knee. I played the entire playoffs last season and won the championship, followed by the Olympics shortly after." This highlights both his commitment and the physical demands of back-to-back seasons.
Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla reassured fans about Tatum's injury, explaining, "Tendinopathy, I don't know too much about it, but I do think it is something that just kind of comes and goes. It's nothing serious." His insights reflect a positive outlook on Tatum's ability to manage his health moving forward.
Tatum’s overall injury history has been positive, having remained durable since entering the league in 2017. Coach Mazzulla noted, 'He has yet to miss any extended period of time due to serious physical injury', underscoring Tatum's resilience as a player.
