It appears that the left fist of Jayson Tatum was a cause for concern for the Boston Celtics during this offseason. Last Friday, the 29th, the “ESPN” journalist, Ramona Shelburne, stated that the winger believed he would need to resort to surgery. However, after consulting specialists, the athlete chose to treat with cortisone injections, a medication used to reduce inflammation, and he was already feeling better.
The wrist has always been a problem in the player’s career, and he rarely gets hurt. Tatum participated in the Celtics’ campaign during the playoffs NBA 2021/22, with one of his wrists fractured. Last season, some pain in the area took the winger out of some games during the 82-game regular season and was a nuisance in the postseason.

It’s something we’ll see when the season ends.”, said the athlete, at the time. For next season, optimism prevails in the Boston Celtics, with a healthy Jayson Tatum and new additions, such as Jrue Holiday It is Kristap Porzingisthe franchise wants to win the NBA again, something that hasn’t happened since 2008.
