Tatum Injury (Ruptured Achilles - Surgery Completed )

Here's another video, Tatum posted it on his snapchat. Not gonna lie he looks crisp here. Obviously he's not 100% but he looks maybe 65-70%? I feel like March is a realistic possibility for him barring, god forbid, another significant rehab setback.

That was slow moving, and not at game speed.  Maybe he has restrictions on effort.  But practicing slow only helps in guitar playing.

I just hope the Doctors are able to be very sure of the level of healing and restrengthening.  I think with MRI and physical tests, they should be able to be sure.  I am torn, I don't feel that even with Tatum back, that this team will go very far.  But if he got some real court time at the end of this season, it would probably be for the better for next season.  More of his normal routine.

But once you are in the playoffs, there is more pressure to push it.  I don't think they would ever do this, but if they gave him some limited minutes in some regular season games, but then shut him down, don't let him play in the playoffs.  But they won't do that.  He will be out there for playoff games if he is back, and that is where the most risk will be.

I would rather him not play at all, but it is looking more and more like he will be back.
