Jayson Tatum Actively Recruits Damian Lillard to Celtics Amidst Shared Achilles Injury Recovery

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is reportedly actively recruiting Damian Lillard as an unrestricted free agent, with Boston being a top potential landing spot for Lillard. Both players are currently recovering from significant Achilles injuries that are expected to sideline them for the entire 2025-26 NBA season. Despite recent cost-cutting measures by the Celtics, Tatum's recruitment efforts signal a strong intent to potentially form a formidable trio with Jaylen Brown and Lillard in the 2026 season once they are both healthy.
