Tatum Prepares for Emotional Return to MSG After Achilles Injury

Jayson Tatum recorded 23 points, five rebounds, and four assists in Tuesday's 113-102 win over Charlotte, marking his sixth straight 20-point game. While managing his recovery from a ruptured Achilles, Tatum is preparing for Thursday's game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. He admitted the return to the arena where he suffered his injury is difficult but is attempting to treat it as just another game. He is expected to sit out Friday's contest against the Pelicans.
