It's been about three and a half weeks since Jayson Tatum tore his achilles against the Knicks, in Game 4 of their ECSF series.
Even with the Celtics trailing 2-0 at one point, panic mode didn't set in for fans until this moment.
People knew that this injury had more significance and implications than just this postseason.
A few weeks later, we were able to get an update on the injury by Tatum himself.

One of his feet/legs is in the story post, but it appears to be the uninjured leg.
This could mean Tatum is beginning to make strides back towards recovery if he is in the facility.
This could be just small activities, but we don't know for sure since he doesn't show the injured leg.

A video within the last week showed Damian Lillard already walking on an AlterG treadmill without a boot.
Lillard tore his achilles a couple of weeks before Tatum did.
Any update we get on Tatum at this point with little context will continue to be analyzed like this, as we won't get a ton of updates on his recovery timeline.
