Celtics star Jayson Tatum revealed that things are starting to get easier for him following his unfortunate Achilles rupture.

Durant was among the group of players who were out for over a year following his Achilles tear, making his return to action 18 months after the injury (although the COVID pandemic played a hand in that). Tatum is reportedly using Durant’s rehab as a template for his road to recovery.

Nevertheless, Tatum may need to adapt his game once he's cleared to play. The most important thing will be ensuring he remains healthy and has the time needed to ramp back up toward the All-NBA level he was at before his injury.
