The Boston star shares how rehab is testing his resilience as the team prepares a small-ball lineup to cover his absence.

But this week, in a social media post ( via Celtics Blog's Noa Dalzell), Tatum opened up about his injury, how he has been dealing with it, and what comes next for the Duke alum. "Rehab is tedious, man — six days a week. It’s starting to get a little bit better now, I’m out the boot now," said Tatum.

Jayson Tatum has progressed through his Achilles rehab, but the Celtics star admitted the first six weeks after the injury were especially tough.
