Is he coming back to play for a team in a dramatically faster pace?
Jayson Tatum is telling Celtics officials he wants to attempt to play this season, per @ShamsCharania on @PatMcAfeeShow. Tatum would become the first player in NBA history to play within a year after a torn Achilles, but Boston could still decide to hold him out entirely.
