THE IS THE WORST NEW WE RECEIVED OVER: Just now Boston Celtics best player Jayson Tatum suspended indefinitely from sports activities as he confirmed medically positive Of……. read more

In what many fans initially feared was a shocking suspension, Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum has been confirmed to be out indefinitely — but the reason is not disciplinary. The All-NBA talent is still recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon he suffered during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the New York Knicks on May 12.

Early social media rumors falsely claimed Tatum had been suspended from all sports activities due to a medical-related positive test. However, multiple sources, including the Celtics organization and national media, have clarified that the star forward’s absence is solely due to his ongoing recovery from surgery and not connected to any suspension or off-court issue.

> “Jayson is progressing well,” said Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens in a recent interview. “He’s out of the boot and working daily on rehab. We’re taking every precaution to make sure he comes back healthy.”

Tatum, 27, is not expected to return for the 2025–26 NBA season, as Achilles injuries typically require a 9–12 month recovery period. The Celtics, while optimistic about his long-term future, are preparing to rely heavily on Jaylen Brown and their supporting cast to remain competitive in the Eastern Conference.

Fans can take some comfort in seeing Tatum’s recent public appearance without a walking boot and with a noticeable limp reduction, signaling slow but encouraging progress.

There is no confirmed medical violation, suspension, or league disciplinary action against Tatum. The confusion likely stemmed from the use of the term “indefinitely suspended from sports activities” — a medical term used internally to describe his rehabilitation timeline, not a punishment.

Without their cornerstone player, Boston’s 2025–26 campaign will hinge on smart rotations, healthy depth, and the leadership of veterans like Al Horford and Derrick White. The front office has not ruled out further roster moves ahead of training camp.

While there’s no fixed return date, Celtics staff emphasize that Tatum is in “great spirits” and is following a carefully managed rehab schedule.

“It’s a long road, but I’ve got time — and I’ll be back,” Tatum recently said in a brief social media video.
