No more! May be reimbursed in the 25-26 season! Another super giant in the NBA falls

No miracle, Tatum's right Achilles tendon ruptured and has successfully undergone repair surgery.

medical expert Stotts said that Tatum is the sixth NBA official contract player to suffer an Achilles tendon injury this season, with the top five being Daron Holmes II, Wiseman, Isaiah Jackson, Murray and Lillard, setting a new high since the 14-15 season.

According to statistics, the average recovery time for NBA players torn Achilles tendon is about 10 months, with a return rate of nearly 80%, but only 27% have returned to the pre-injury level. The leaker king Shams reported Tatum's injury, claiming that he may be absent for at least one year... In this way, it is highly likely that Tatum can be reimbursed in advance for the 25-26 season. Fortunately, Tatum won the championship last summer and signed a five-year, $314 million (the largest in history) contract renewal in advance. The honors and money have been obtained. If there are any regrets, it is that he did not get the MVP and FMVP. The reason why Tatum suffered a devastating injury to the Achilles tendon rupture at the age of 27 is inseparable from his extremely high attendance rate in the past. Since entering the NBA in 2017, he has played the most regular season + playoff games in the same period, reaching 706 games, and has never missed the playoffs in his special career.

Fortunately, Tatum is still around 28 years old after returning from injury. He is still at the golden age of basketball players. He is expected to continue to play at a super-large level. Perhaps he can ask Durant, who also had a ruptured Achilles tendon in 2019. After his comeback, he still maintained averaging at least 26+ points per game per season, and averaged 29.9 points per game in the 21-22 season.

Of course, not everyone can become Durant. KD, a KD, who can still kill all sides after a rupture, seems to be the only one in NBA history. It is a medical miracle existence, mainly because people have historical shooting ability to offset the decline in their athletic level, and Tatum does not have such a level. What else can you say about

? I wish Tatum a quick recovery!
