Could Jayson Tatum return to the court at some point before the 2025-26 season wraps? Celtics president Rich Gotham gave his take.

If anyone has their finger on the pulse of what is going on with the Boston Celtics behind the scenes, it is Celtics president Rich Gotham. And Gotham recently took some time to get the local media assembled a team community event in Providence, Rhode Island, this past Thursday (Aug. 7).
