Former Celtics player and coach Evan Turner reacted to this fact following the announcement that Tatum has made his fourth consecutive All-NBA first team. Turner took to his X account to express his disbelief over Tatum never being a finalist for MVP, despite his run as one of the league's premier players.

While Jayson Tatum starts the rehab process after his ruptured right Achilles tendon, his 2024-25 campaign was still honored in a small way. Tatum matched a career-best finish by landing at fourth in NBA MVP voting with the results released by the league Wednesday.

The St. Louis native becomes the fifth player in Celtics history to be named to at least four All-NBA First Teams.

With Jayson Tatum out indefinitely, here are the best trades the Celtics can make using the 28th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

The Celtics will control the Nos. 28 and 32 picks in the first and second rounds of the draft, respectively, and will need to find some cheap talent to help fill out their already costly roster if they hope to continue contending for titles when star forward Jayson Tatum returns from his torn Achilles tendon injury.

The Celtics, with an expensive roster in the second apron, need to hit on at least one of their 2025 NBA Draft picks.
