A post on X went viral where NBA Fans were unconvinced that Tatum would make an impact if he returns early from injury. Legion Hoops stated that NBA insider Chris Haynes reported: Tatum is coming back this season.
While many thought that some NBA fans would cheer, it turned out to be the other way around. NBA fans were not buying the fact that Tatum would have a strong comeback. Several fans dropped negative comments on his return. Here are some reactions from X.
“This could go really good or really bad for the Celtics,” wrote one fan.

“It’s becoming obvious now. Brad Stevens randomly mentioned they didn’t apply for the Disabled Player Exception, and then JB said on his stream knowing JT that he expects him to break the record for the fastest recovery from an Achilles injury. He’ll be back late feb- march,” one fan responded.
“That shit bout to slide right off the bone,” another fan replied.

“He should take year off tbh Celtics not winning the chip this year,” one fan replied.
“Can’t wait for when he comes back and ruins the Celtics chemistry and momentum,” another fan wrote sarcastically.
Several NBA fans see Tatum’s return as unnecessary. Many believe that he should take rest and recover properly instead of coming back and making things worse.
