Tuesday was the one-year anniversary of Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum's Achilles injury that he suffered during the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks.
Tatum marked the milestone with a two-word post on X.
"365 days," the 28-year-old wrote, followed by the praying hands emoji.
365 days 🙏🏽

Tatum made a triumphant return to action on March 6, less than 10 months after going down on the Madison Square Garden floor.
The six-time All-Star averaged 21.8 points, 10.0 rebounds and 5.3 rebounds across 16 regular season games and won his 13th career Eastern Conference Player of the Week award in March.
Tatum's stunning return to form helped the Celtics clinch the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, but Boston blew a 3-1 series lead in the first-round against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The former third overall pick missed Game 7 vs. the Sixers due to knee stiffness and has found himself in trade rumors recently, mainly with the Celtics continuing to be linked to Milwaukee Bucks two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
It was reported recently, however that Boston "will not be considering" moving Tatum in a deal for Antetokounmpo.
