Boston Celtics All-Star forward Jayson Tatum has not made a decision on whether he will return this season as he works back from a torn Achilles tendon.

In comments to ESPN, Tatum said he is taking a cautious approach and has not committed to a timeline because he “wants to get it right the first time.”

Rehab Focus, No Timeline Set

Tatum’s remarks underscore that his priority remains recovery rather than a target date for game action. He did not indicate when a decision might be made, reiterating that he is still weighing whether a return this season is the right move.

The Celtics will continue to monitor their star forward’s progress as he rehabilitates the injury, with Tatum making clear that any decision will be guided by ensuring he is fully ready.
