The Boston Celtics have an exciting update on superstar Jayson Tatum's recovery from his Achilles tear. Jordan Walsh spoke on his All-Star teammate and what he has seen on his road to returning to the court.

In other news, a Celtics veteran is posed for a breakout year, according to an insider. The $45 million forward is a perfect fit in the Celtics' system with his shooting ability and above-average defense.

Finally, the Celtics' big man situation has been criticized around the league due to the lack of depth, as a key insider discusses what he believes Boston should do. In order to keep the core of the team intact while bringing in a more consistent option down low, a new member of the team may be flipped to achieve this, according to the insider.
