Tatum's rapid start to training with the ball has sparked a lot of speculation among fans that he could be back by the end of the All-Star Weekend of the new season. But reporter Chris Mannix refuted the speculation on his show.

Chris Mannix said, "No one on the Celtic side thinks that All-Star weekend or next March is the best time for him to come back. I've talked to Tatum's close associates and other sources in the Celtic organization, and they're all trying to minimize Tatum's comeback expectations because they know that this is a very difficult injury to fully recover from."
