The Boston Celtics star told ESPN he wants to “get it right the first time” after a torn Achilles tendon

Jayson Tatum told ESPN on Wednesday night he still hasn’t decided whether he will return this season following a torn Achilles tendon. “I want to get it right the first time, so it’s just a lot to think about,” he said.

Injured during the playoffs in May, Tatum said his rehab has been progressing well and he feels stronger every week, but he’s waiting to make a call because of how serious the injury is. He has recently increased his workload and went through a full workout in front of reporters in Detroit last week, fueling late-season return speculation.

The Boston Celtics are currently tied with the New York Knicks for the second-best record in the East (29-18). Earlier Wednesday, NBA TV’s “The Association” reported that Tatum was reevaluating his situation and considering sitting out the entire season.
