He's such a great kid and has given me a lot of joy as a fan and I'm pretty gutted. Hoping for a fast and full recovery and sending other assorted best wishes. Keep your head up and come back stronger, Jayson.

Kind of crazy he already had the surgery. Tatum is such an iron man and it is surreal this happened.

Hoping to see him at the start of the 2026 season.

His contract kicks in next season. Glad he’s set for life and won a ring but damn.

The 26/27 season. Yeah that’s the hope.

He’ll recover fine. He’s young, not as much tread on the tires as it would be if it happened 4 years from now. **** timing but what can you do?

A guy here in NH said 8-12 months.
“You're looking anywhere probably from a good 8 to 12 months of rehab, for him to be back where he's got to get back playing,” Zollo said.

How legit is this guy?
He says Tatum will be OUT all of next Season?

It’s a Safeish bet. But I think there’s a shot he’s back by March/April if things go well.

He doesn't know. Right before that tweet, he tweeted "Tatum’s 2025-26 season is likely in jeopardy." And then 9 minutes later took it up a notch for no reason.

No way he comes back so they need to use that non-tax payer MLE which should be for around 14-15mil.

They need to confirm that he's gonna miss the entire season I think.

Why risk the 26/27' season? He's their star centerpiece.

Tatum seems like the type that will work to get back in 8-10 months and get some time on the court next season regardless of what the team is doing.
