Boston’s basketball president Brad Stevens said that all stars are applying well after surgery last month. But was asked if the team had set a potential timetable for Tatom’s return, Stevens was specified that there would be no impulsion to rehabilitate the star.
Stevens said Wednesday night after the first round of The American Professional League draft. “We will not set a timetable for a long and long time … it’s a small steps at the present time. It has actually advanced wonderfully, but I do not know what it means regarding the expected time tables. But this will be in consultation with him … and every other person is sure that when the court strikes completely ready, and that will be the priority.”
Tatum is expected to miss most if not all next season. It has already had traces on the next season, as the team chose the trading Carspab Purzengis and Jrue holiday – Both major shareholders from the 2024 title team – in an attempt to obtain the team’s salary under the second penalty square.

“We said that they were ready for the training camp and I think it is likely to follow before,” said Stevens.
While Stevens said that the league rules will not allow him to handle suspended deals in Porzzis or the holiday, anything they do abroad is taking into account flexibility after multiple seasons with high salaries.
Stevens said: “As far as you move, they are part of it, they are all separate and difficult and the things that you will have to do your best to make sure that you put yourself in the right situations,” Stevens said. “We knew that this was coming. This is not a big surprise … … the biggest thing for us is to make sure that it is balanced, and to increase what we can to the maximum of what we return so that we can continue to build and grow.”
The absence of Tatom will leave a large hole in Boston’s rotation, regardless of the type of external seasons moves. The NBA team was the first for the fourth consecutive season in 2024-2025, and all stars star for the sixth year in a row. The average Tatum reached 26.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 6.6 decisive passes for each game last season, and in the qualifiers, a high average jumped to 11.5 per game in addition to 28.1 points.
