What does Jayson Tatum\u2019s future look like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
At this point, it seems unlikely that Tatum will be on the court at all next season. Based on some predicted timelines, there\u2019s a small chance he could be available for part of the playoffs, but at that point, it may be too risky.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Having Tatum return for a playoff series in which the Celtics will probably be underdogs could be more risk than it\u2019s worth. At that point, having Tatum rest even longer and prepare for the 2026-27 campaign will likely be the smarter choice.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That said, the future of the Celtics organization still largely rests on Tatum\u2019s shoulders, and how he responds to this injury will, in part, determine what the next decade of the franchise looks like.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If Tatum responds well, and he enters the 2026-27 season fresh and close to the same level at which he has been playing for the past few years, Boston could instantly be a title contender again.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, if Tatum struggles to find his form, the Celtics may be in a bit of trouble. That\u2019s why it will be crucial for him to take his time and make sure he\u2019s approaching the recovery process as meticulously as possible.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to Walsh, that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s been happening.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tatum has been constantly in the gym, working as hard as he can to make it back onto the court as soon as possible. That\u2019s exactly what an organization should want to see from the face of its franchise, and it\u2019s setting the example for the rest of the roster.<\/p>\n
