Tatum himself is on record saying he isn't ruling out a return, and by all accounts, his rehab is going swimmingly. "Clearly Jayson Tatum has a goal in his mind that he wants to play," Charania said. "Whether he can get there by the time we're in February, March or April, we'll see."

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Won't rule out returning in 2025-26
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) said Tuesday that he's not ruling out a return in 2025-26, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports."I haven't said I'm not playing this season," Tatum said. "The most important thing is a full recovery, not rushing at all. But also, I don't go to rehab six days a week for nothing." Tatum ruptured his Achilles on May 12 and underwent surgery the following day, and while he has a target date in his mind, he's not ready to reveal it. Officially, the Boston Celtics haven't placed a timetable on Tatum, and it will ultimately come down to the medical staff as to whether or not he'll be given the green light.
