Mazzulla Mum on Tatum’s Practice Status as Return Timeline Remains Unset

The Celtics emphasize a day‑to‑day, stepwise rehab plan, leaving any comeback decision to Tatum.

Overview

  • Joe Mazzulla confirmed Jayson Tatum attended Saturday’s practice but refused to say whether he participated before Boston’s win over the Lakers.
  • Tatum says he recently did controlled five‑on‑five, including a G League Maine session and a “little five‑on‑five” this week, yet insists nothing is scheduled.
  • He continues to take recovery day by day and has publicly acknowledged he is still considering whether to play this season.
  • A new Amica Insurance commercial features rehab footage and a 250‑day countdown, stoking interest without providing any return date.
  • The Celtics improved to 37‑19 and remain near the top of the East as media and fans float early‑March possibilities that the team has not confirmed.
