Jayson Tatum, the Boston Celtics' star forward, recently underwent Achilles tendon surgery, with his father estimating an 8-9 month recovery period. While the Celtics have not set a definitive timetable for his return, this could mean a possible comeback by early 2026. Historical cases like Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant show varying recovery paths after similar injuries, with Bryant returning after eight months but facing a challenging trajectory, while Durant took longer yet regained his elite performance after 18 months. Tatum's rehabilitation will be crucial to his future performance.
His dad [Justin Tatum] said he expects to be out 8-9 months.
Despite missing 18 months of action, Durant did regain his form as one of top scorers in the league.
