Overview

  • Boston assigned Tatum to participate in portions of the Maine Celtics’ practice on Monday at the Auerbach Center and immediately recalled him to continue rehab.
  • He practiced with the NBA club on Tuesday and told reporters there is no timetable as he continues to follow the team’s protocol.
  • President of basketball operations Brad Stevens reiterated that Tatum will return only when fully cleared and feeling "110 percent healthy."
  • Recent progress includes controlled five‑on‑five scrimmaging with coaches, reported over the weekend by ESPN’s Shams Charania.
  • Rookies Hugo Gonzalez and Amari Williams joined the G League practice, and Tatum has acknowledged weighing how a midseason comeback would fit a 34‑19 team that has found its identity without him.
