Brad Stevens: Tatum to Return When He Can Dunk on LeBron – The Boston Shamrock

Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens made headlines today by providing an update on the status of star player Jayson Tatum. According to Stevens, Tatum is progressing well in his recovery from injury, but the Celtics are taking a cautious approach and won’t rush him back onto the court until he is “fully ready.”

In a press conference earlier today, Stevens addressed the media with his trademark calm demeanor, but couldn’t resist throwing in a few jokes to lighten the mood. When asked about Tatum’s timeline for return, Stevens quipped, “Well, I can’t give you an exact date, but I can tell you that Jayson will come back when he’s ready to drop buckets like a leaky faucet.”

Stevens went on to explain that Tatum has been working hard in rehab and is making great progress, but the Celtics are determined to prioritize his long-term health over short-term gains. “We want Jayson to be at 110% before he steps back onto the court,” Stevens said. “We don’t want him out there half-baked like a soggy waffle. We want him fully cooked and ready to feast on the competition.”

Fans of the Celtics have been eagerly awaiting Tatum’s return, but it seems they will have to wait a little longer for their star player to grace the court once again. In the meantime, Stevens assured everyone that the team is doing everything they can to support Tatum in his recovery. “We’ve got a great team of doctors, trainers, and even a few witches casting healing spells on Jayson,” Stevens joked.

As for Tatum himself, he is reportedly itching to get back out there and show the world what he’s made of. In a statement released through his agent, Tatum said, “I’m feeling stronger every day and can’t wait to get back out there with my teammates. I’m like a caged tiger, just waiting for the right moment to pounce.”

So, Celtics fans, hang in there. Jayson Tatum will be back on the court before you know it, ready to lead the team to victory once again. And in the meantime, let’s all take a moment to appreciate the comedic genius of Brad Stevens, the master of deadpan delivery and dad jokes.
