Celtics' Jaylen Brown Returns from Knee Surgery Ahead of Training Camp Amid Tatum Injury

The Boston Celtics are facing a challenging offseason with key players recovering from significant injuries. All-Star Jaylen Brown underwent a successful right knee arthroscopic debridement to repair a partially torn meniscus and bone bruise, and he is expected to be fully recovered and participate in the 2025-26 training camp without limitations. Brown had played through this injury during the previous season and playoffs, contributing strong performances despite the pain. In contrast, franchise star Jayson Tatum suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon during the playoffs and is projected to miss most, if not all, of the upcoming season, with a potential return around mid-February. Celtics president Brad Stevens expressed optimism about Brown’s recovery, highlighting the positive structural state of his knee. The team now must plan its season around Brown’s leadership while awaiting Tatum’s long rehabilitation.
