BOSTON -- Celtics star Jayson Tatum described his return to the court on Friday night as simply a step in the recovery from his torn Achilles, even as he acknowledged his gratitude after playing in his first NBA game in 298 days.

"I still got a long way to go," said Tatum, who scored 15 points in 27 minutes in a 120-100 home victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
