- Tatum: “I feel a little bit better every game” but doesn’t know when he’ll be fully back.
- He has returned 12 games after Achilles surgery and is averaging 21.3 points and 9.8 rebounds in those outings (as reported).
- His shooting percentage remains below his peak (noted as roughly 40% in the article), signaling room for improvement.
- Even below peak, Tatum’s playmaking and rebounding have been influential—his triple‑double showed expanded impact.
- The team’s postseason ceiling depends heavily on him reaching full form, so incremental progress is closely watched.
- Coaching staff and teammates have publicly expressed confidence in his recovery trajectory.
