The Boston Celtics are going to be without Jayson Tatum for quite a few games because of the torn Achilles that he suffered against the Knicks in Game 4 of the second round. They are prepared to deal with what it will be like without their best player.

Durant was among the group of players who were out for over a year following his Achilles tear, making his return to action 18 months after the injury (although the COVID pandemic played a hand in that). Tatum is reportedly using Durant’s rehab as a template for his road to recovery.

Jayson Tatum has a long road to recovery ahead of him after suffering a torn Achilles in the second round of the NBA playoffs, but the Boston Celtics star shared an encouraging update on Saturday.
