Jayson Tatum talks about frustrations on court as he works back from Achilles injury
Tatum isn't as consistent yet as he wants to be, but that's to be expected.
There are a lot of positives since Jayson Tatum's return to play in Boston. The Celtics are 6-2 in the games he has played and he scored 20+ points in five games and has a couple of double-doubles. Then there are nights like Sunday, when he shot 6-of-16 in a loss to Minnesota.
After the game, he talked about the frustrating process of finding his way back and having off days, via Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe . "It's tough in the moment, right? You try not to think about it.
You just want to be Jason Tatum and feel like yourself again. I'm not Superman, so, obviously, it's going to take some time. I think the next day I can give myself a little more grace over certain things, but in the moment, I mean, it's frustrating.
" While Tatum has put up numbers, his efficiency has not yet returned. He's shooting 38. 8% overall, 29.
