Celtics star Jayson Tatum, one of Vitters’ favorite players, was set to work out at the school the following day. A Chattanooga assistant coach informed Vitters that Tatum, in the area for former teammate Kemba Walker’s wedding, would be stopping by the university’s training facilities.

But even as he rests, basketball pundits are still trying to rank Tatum. In fact, Bleacher Report just listed him as the 93rd-best player in NBA history, placing him behind arguably less accomplished players like Chris Webber and Jimmy Butler.

Tatum is looking to convince Damian Lillard to join the Celtics after he was waived by the Milwaukee Bucks, according to the Boston Globe. Both players tore their Achilles during the NBA playoffs and will miss most, if not all, of the 2025-26 season.
