Jayson Tatum was ‘sick to his stomach’ when he learned that his former high school sweetheart, Toriah Mimms, was pregnant.

Jayson Tatum has looked better than expected while recovering from his Achilles injury, which is why some think he might make a return during the 2025-26 season. But with the Boston Celtics opening the season with a 1-3 record, former NBA superstar DeMarcus Cousins advised Tatum to sit out the rest of the year to ensure he is fully recovered.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum updated his social media followers on his injury recovery process on Tuesday.

Tatum is widely expected to miss the entirety of the 2025-26 season, as the standard timeline for recovery from an Achilles' injury is typically about a year. He's said to have consulted Kevin Durant, another major star who has suffered an Achilles' injury himself, on the recovery. Durant missed a full season.

Tatum—and sources close to the NBA All-Star and his reported long-time girlfriend, Ella Mai — have never confirmed the couple is married. Despite fan interest and Internet rumors about the two, it's likely that they are happily and privately living life as a couple and co-parents to a toddler.

An update on Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum's potential return from a torn Achilles during the 2025-26 season was provided by NBA insider Chris Haynes on Wednesday.

"We’re assuming he’s not coming back, and we’re not even going to have any discussions about it." The post Wyc Grousbeck says Jayson Tatum not expected to play this season appeared first on Boston.com.
