Most of the early returns for the Celtics and Jayson Tatum’s comeback have been overwhelmingly positive. Still, as should be expected for a player recovering from a torn achilles, there have been some hiccups, growing pains, and rust.
Tatum deserves all the credit and grace in the world as he is pushing to reintegrate quickly to help the team compete for a championship that seemed nearly impossible just a few months ago.
Things aren’t going to look perfect right away, obviously, and that’s far from a reason to panic, but Celtics fans are always going to have their guards up, and one of the most famous ones of all, Bill Simmons, talked about the dynamic with the team on his most recent podcast with Zach Lowe.
