Inside the sights, sounds, and emotions:

NEW STORY: Jayson Tatum was filled with gratitude after making his season debut, but gave the most credit to one person: his trainer, Nick Sang:
"He's had the biggest role... I can never say thank you enough to him."
www.celticsblog.com/boston-celti...
NEW: I took a look back at my first conversation with an Achilles expert who was optimistic about Tatum's recovery because of how quickly he was able to get the surgery.
“[It] gives him an excellent shot at an earlier-than-average, high-level athlete return."
www.celticsblog.com/boston-celti...
NEW STORY: Jayson Tatum's teammates are thrilled that his return to the floor appears closer than ever.
“He's Jayson Tatum. He's going to be positive for us in any way. He's one of the best players in the world."

NEW: Jayson Tatum is officially QUESTIONABLE and could make his return tomorrow when the Celtics face the Mavericks.

NEW: Derrick White was named Defensive Player of the Month (in the East) for the first time in his career.
