Jayson Tatum reportedly is making strides in his rehab from a torn Achilles injury. Per Heavy Sports' Steve Bulpett, one scout said the Boston Celtics star looks "way ahead" in his recovery.

Achilles tears generally take about nine to 12 months to recover from, which would put Tatum around mid-February of next year at the absolute earliest. But it is certainly encouraging that he is already working out with a boot, and it should also help that Tatum is still only 27 years old as he embarks on his rehab.

But the biggest loss may have been their All-NBA superstar, Jayson Tatum, who suffered a torn Achilles in Game 4 of the second-round series against the New York Knicks. This ended the rest of his playoffs and has put the upcoming season in jeopardy. The Celtics went on to lose to the Knicks in six.
