Nearly three months removed from a season-ending Achilles tear during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinal, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is beginning his road to recovery and no longer wearing a boot on his surgically repaired right ankle.

Following Jayson Tatum's serious Achilles injury, his recovery remains a key focus. While the Boston Celtics have not released new updates, a recent report offers fresh insights into his progress for fans.

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.
