Celtics player Jason Tatum revealed today on a show that he had considered giving up basketball and retired after an Achilles tendon injury.
Tatum said: "It may sound a bit dramatic, but I remember telling my mom at the time, 'Mom, I might be over. I don't know if I can overcome this injury or have the courage to face this challenge.' Did you know, I really felt completely defeated at the time. I was thinking for a while, I didn't know if I wanted to continue. "
Before that, Tatum didn't rule out the possibility of a comeback in the new season.
