Jayson Tatum participated in his first scrimmage with the Boston Celtics’ G League affiliate, a milestone in his on-court progression as he works his way back.
While the session represented his latest step forward, Tatum cautioned that it should not be taken as a sign that his return is close. He said the fact he scrimmaged does not mean his comeback is imminent, leaving his timeline to rejoin the Celtics still unclear.
Where things stand
Tatum’s involvement in a scrimmage indicates he has advanced to more competitive basketball activity, but he made clear that it does not come with a definitive date for when he will be back in the lineup.
