For what it is worth, Jayson Tatum has yet to make any announcement about his return to the court this season. He has not ruled out the possibility that he could miss the entire season. That makes sense because any number of setbacks could move his timeline back in an abundance of caution.
However, all outward signs seem to indicate that he’s gearing up for a return in the near future. Some recent news indicates that NBC will be airing a documentary on his comeback journey. In addition, many have speculated about the league’s decision to move the March 1st game against Philadelphia into primetime on NBC. Of course there are other, non-Tatum reasons to flex the schedule, and it doesn’t mean it will be his debut.
So I thought I’d throw this topic out. Keeping in mind that he has said in the past that he wants to return in a home game, when do you think he’ll return?
Here’s a quick look at the schedule coming up:
- Feb 19 – 25: One long road trip out West, with games against the Warriors, Lakers, Suns, and Nuggets
- Feb 27: Home against Brooklyn
- Mar 1: Home against Philadelphia
- Mar 2: Away at Milwaukee
- Mar 4: Home against Charlotte
- Mar 6: Home against Dallas
- Mar 8 – 12: Road trip to Cleveland, San Antonio, and OKC
So let us know in the comments, when do you think he’ll return?
