According to Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe, Jayson Tatum is playing a significant role in recruiting Lillard to the TD Garden. Tatum is also out due to an Achilles tear, but it would appear that he's already planning for his return to the rotation, either toward the end of the 25-26 season or at the start of the 26-27 campaign.

The Celtics were previously rumored to be a possible suitor for Lillard earlier in July. The post Jayson Tatum reportedly a part of Celtics’ efforts to land Damian Lillard appeared first on Boston.com.
