Jayson Tatum is a few months into his Achilles recovery process after the Celtics superstar tore it during the NBA playoffs against the Knicks in May. He hasn't made many public appearances since suffering the devastating injury, but the occasional, basic updates from the team indicate Tatum is progressing as expected.
On Wednesday, the All-NBA forward made his first comments on how his recovery is going in a brief clip shared by the official NBA social media accounts. Tatum acknowledged that the first six weeks after the injury were "the toughest six weeks of any point" in his life. He also used one frustrated word to describe the process at large: tedious.
