Boston Celtics superstar was finally able to meet with his teammates just days after he suffered a torn Achilles which will sideline him indefinitely.

Though the Celtics said Tatum is expected to make a full recovery, it will likely take some time for him to get there. An Achilles tear typically comes with a recovery timeline of eight to 12 months, so he should be expected to miss much of next season in addition to the current postseason.

Celtics star Jayson Tatum won’t be far from Madison Square Garden when Boston faces a must-win situation against the New York Knicks on Friday night as the defending champions attempt to force a deciding Game 7.
