It’s a positive sign for Tatum as he continues his rehabilitation, which is expected to keep him out for most, if not all, of the upcoming NBA season.
During his appearance on Wednesday, Tatum mostly stayed on the sidelines, interacting with Patriots players and Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Tatum has been seen in several social media videos working out in the gym at the Celtics’ team training facilities.
Boston’s president of basketball operations, Brad Stevens, said in June that the All-Star is progressing well after surgery. But when asked if the team had set a possible timeline for Tatum’s return, Stevens was definitive that the star’s recovery process would not be rushed.
