BOSTON -- Celtics star Jayson Tatum described his return to the court Friday night as a step in his recovery from a torn right Achilles after playing in his first NBA game in 298 days.
"I still got a long way to go," said Tatum, who scored 15 points in 27 minutes in a 120-100 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. "But this was a really good step."
Tatum made his season debut in Boston's starting lineup more than 10 months after having surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon, which usually takes nine to 12 months to rehabilitate.
But his first game got off to a clunky start.
