About this listen
Jayson Tatum’s world has been buzzing these past few days and not just because of the Boston Celtics’ dramatic roster shake-up. While still deep in recovery from that torn Achilles he suffered against the Knicks in May, Tatum has been relentlessly rehabbing, with insiders like NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg saying the Celtics haven’t ruled out a return for him during the 2025-26 season. He’s reportedly out of his walking boot, showing up at community events and even a Patriots practice, making it clear to fans and teammates he’s attacking rehab with serious energy and optimism—his own phrase, “better days ahead,” is rallying Boston’s hopes.
But the news isn’t only about his health. Tatum turned heads everywhere—literally—with a bold new braided hairstyle. The buzz started when he appeared as a groomsman at his longtime friend Bradley Beal’s wedding, instantly sparking a frenzy online. Jaylen Brown, his Celtics running mate, was caught off guard mid-Twitch stream, chuckling and saying, “JT got braids? Nah, that’s crazy. JT just doing anything now.” The social media reaction was wild: fans debated and celebrated the transformation, comparing Tatum’s style to flamboyant icons like Dennis Rodman. Not all the reactions were playful—people also noted Tatum looked strong, moving confidently, and showing no limp, fueling further speculation about an earlier comeback.
Meanwhile, business-wise, Tatum’s off-court presence remains strong. Although no major endorsements or new deals have been reported in the past 24 hours, his public appearances at high-profile weddings and team activities keep his profile—and marketability—high, especially as Celtics fans long for his return.
On the team front, Celtics’ front office moves have overshadowed nearly everything else. Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday are gone, and seasoned vets left or have likely moved on, signaling the roster’s dramatic transformation. Bleacher Report’s Grant Hughes stirred up controversy, boldly predicting Tatum may never lead Boston back to the Finals as the main star, suggesting instead that the team will face tough rebuilding years and noting Tatum won’t be his best self until at least 2027-28. Some see opportunity in Tatum’s absence, as Boston experiments with new pieces during this “gap year,” maybe laying the groundwork for future contention.
When you add it up: a determined rehab, viral new braids, major team shakeups, and social buzz—it’s been a decisive week for Jayson Tatum. Stay tuned, subscribe to never miss an update, and search the term Biography Flash for more great bio episodes. Thanks for listening!
