Interesting that Tatum and Australian NBL player Sam Froling who is coached by Justin Tatum have been keeping in touch on their rehab of achilles tears. Froling done his on March 19 and Tatum on May 12.
Froling made his comeback last night in the Xmas day game against the Sydney Kings and came back extremely well. Hoping Tatum comes back soon and just as well.

Froling was initially slated to come back in January…

Different injury, but Wemby has been coming off the bench for quite a while now.
Banned temporarily for, among other sins, being "Extremely Deviant".

If Brown continues to thrive as team leader, how will Tatum adjust? Will he defer to Brown the way Brown has had to defer to him (and IT, Hayward, Kyrie, and Kemba)? He struggled in that role to some extent on the Olympics but if he returns this year it would be good for long term picture for him to learn to be second fiddle. Ideally going forward we will have 2 guys that can both be a Batman and a Robin depending on what is best for the team.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

I think this is something fans like to talk about but doesn’t matter to players as much as we think.
Jordan Walsh goes top 10 in a 2023 redraft.
