Today, American journalist Sam Quinn posted an article expressing his views on Tatum’s possible comeback in the new season.

The original text reads: "Some people say, 'The Eastern Conference is just like rookies pecking each other.'

"Then let me ask you, could last year's Celtics still win the championship without Horford, Porzingis and Holiday? I don't think so.

"I'm not a doctor and can't predict his recovery time. But I definitely don't want him to return with an incomplete lineup."

Previously, famous reporter Jake Fischer talked about Green Army star Tatum in his podcast "Insider Notebook". He said that there are currently widespread rumors in the league that Tatum is expected to return in March next year.

Shams later stated on the "Pat McAfee Show" that Tatum has told the Celtics that he is looking forward to playing in the new season and wants to try to come back later in the new season, but this is obviously a complicated matter.
