Stephen A. Smith: Don’t Rush Jayson Tatum Back From Achilles Tear

Smith, a Knicks superfan, jokingly urged Tatum not to chase a return this season after an Achilles tear. “Don’t rush back. Take your time,” he said, calling it a “16 to 18-month recovery” and noting it hasn’t been 12. He argued Boston is already top-three in East, and a limited comeback could disrupt Brown’s current alpha rhythm all season long.
