Jayson Tatum Undergoes Surgery for Torn Achilles; Receives Advice

Jayson Tatum, a star basketball player, has a serious injury called a torn Achilles tendon.

This means he might have to sit out the entire next basketball season.

A famous former player, Dominique Wilkins, who had the same injury, says Tatum needs to take his time to heal properly.

Wilkins, who recovered from the injury, says Tatum should focus on exercises to regain his mobility and strength.

The advice is to work hard but not rush back to playing too soon, to allow for full recovery.

The injury can take about a year to feel 100% again.
