The Boston Celtics<\/a> have been through a busy and unpredictable offseason, in what has been a challenging time for the organization. But on Saturday night, they got a lift in the form of a promising update on Jayson Tatum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Celtics star posted a new video on his YouTube channel showing himself jogging up and down the court and getting shots up. It marked his latest step forward since suffering a torn Achilles in Game 4 of Boston\u2019s second-round playoff loss to the New York Knicks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tatum Returns to the Court<\/p>\n

The session came just days after Tatum logged his first on-court workout since the injury, a 15-minute stint earlier in the week. When asked about his next rehab goal by Lorenzo Reyes of USA Today Sports<\/a>, Tatum explained:<\/p>\n

\u201cWell you know\u2026 yesterday was the first time I got on court and did a basketball workout\u2026 I was on court for 15 minutes\u2026 so you know the goal is just getting more comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clips from the workout quickly spread on social media. While the six-time All-Star hasn\u2019t set a timetable for his return, he hasn\u2019t ruled out playing during the 2025-26 season. Earlier this week, he told First Take<\/a> that a comeback could be possible if rehab continues to progress.<\/p>\n

Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens<\/a> kept the focus on patience when asked about Tatum\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve said this from Day 1, and I\u2019ll continue to say it: no timelines on Jayson from my perspective,\u201d Stevens said, per Brian Robb of MassLive.com<\/a>. \u201cMy No. 1 goal, my No. 2 goal, three goal, four goal is Jayson Tatum fully healthy, full recovery. And he\u2019s well on his way. He has been incredibly diligent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tatum 4s Drop With a Message<\/p>\n

As Tatum worked his way back, he also celebrated the release of his newest Jordan Brand signature sneaker, the Tatum 4s.<\/p>\n

On social media, he showed off the red-and-white sneakers, which arrived with a bold note from Jordan Brand<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cJayson Tatum will never be the same \u2014 and that should terrify you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shoes mark the fourth installment of Tatum\u2019s line with Jordan, further cementing his status as one of the league\u2019s most marketable stars even while sidelined.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next for the Celtics Star<\/p>\n

Boston will continue to take a cautious approach, but Tatum\u2019s diligence has inspired confidence within the organization. The Celtics are preparing to start the season without their star forward, but every new step in his rehab raises the possibility he could see the court before year\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

For now, there\u2019s no official timeline. Still, Jayson Tatum\u2019s appearance back on the court, along with the excitement surrounding his latest sneaker, was exactly the kind of update Celtics fans have been hoping for.<\/p>\n
