The Boston Celtics were heavy favorites coming into the NBA this season. And one of the biggest reasons was Jayson Tatum. And much to the expectation, Tatum had quite an impressive run. Riding on his back, the Celtics reached the playoffs. Unfortunately, Tatum had a heartbreaking injury when he ruptured his ACL. And while he is in the middle of his rehabilitation, Tatum seems quite unhappy.
Tatum underwent a surgery immediately at Manhattan’s Hospital. However, it has been 45 days since he has entered the recovery process. Taking to social media, Tatum seemed extremely irritated at how slow his recovery was taking. Expressing his frustration, Tatum delivered an unfiltered, 4-word response for his fans.
“This is some bull****,” Tatum wrote on X.
Day 45… this is some bullshit

Surely, Tatum must not be impatient. In all probability, he will have to spend some more time in rehab. On average, an ACL takes nearly 10 months to recover fully. And this means that Tatum will be missing almost the entirety of the next season. Meanwhile, with Tatum unavailable, the Boston Celtics are going through a major roster shakeup.
