There's a good chance Jayson Tatum will miss the entire 2025-26 NBA season after he tore his Achilles tendon during the playoffs this summer. He's been recovering from the injury and surgery for months now, but it seems like he's found another basketball role to keep him busy while rehabbing.
Duke men's basketball announced on Tuesday that the former Blue Devils star is joining the staff this upcoming season with a new role: chief basketball officer. Tatum will appear as an advisor to coach Jon Scheyer and the Duke roster to help bring his professional basketball expertise into the locker room.
