Friday night, March 6, 2026, will mark a momentous occasion, as NBA superstar Jayson Tatum is set to make his return from an almost 10-month absence. Tatum blew out his Achilles in Game 4 of the Boston Celtics’ second-round playoff series against the New York Knicks last year and has yet to make his return to the hardwood. That changes on Friday night, as the former Duke star makes a surprisingly quick return following the devastating injury. NBA fans rejoiced on Friday when it became official that Tatum would be coming back on Friday night, less than one year since the major setback.

Now, Tatum will attempt to get back on track with what was a surefire Hall-of-Fame career before he went down. Last season, the 28-year-old averaged 26.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 45.2 percent from the floor and 34.3 percent from three. Tatum was on a four-year stretch in which he finished Top 6 in the MVP vote four straight years, earning an All-Star appearance each season and four straight 1st Team All-NBAs. Tatum helped lead Boston to the 2023-24 championship during that run, too.

It’ll be interesting to see how Tatum acclimates to playing on a Boston team that has played so well in his absence. The Celtics are impressively 41-21 this season, even without Tatum seeing even one minute of action yet, sitting just four-plus games behind the Detroit Pistons for the first seed in the Eastern Conference.

Will Tatum be able to help Boston clinch the No. 1 seed in the East heading into the playoffs? Or might he disrupt team chemistry? Find out starting on Friday night against Dallas.
