During a pre-draft press conference, Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen revealed that he consulted Brad Stevens, the President of Basketball Operations for the Boston Celtics, for advice on recovering from Achilles surgery. This inquiry was prompted by the shared experience of Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum, who underwent surgery by Dr. Martin O’Malley, the same surgeon who performed the procedure on Colts quarterback Daniel Jones. Steichen emphasized the importance of learning from Stevens’ firsthand experiences with Tatum's recovery, as both athletes are navigating similar rehabilitation protocols. Notably, Stevens had previously reached out to Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle for insights regarding Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles injury. Early reports suggest that Jones is making good progress, with hopes for a return by the Colts' training camp in mid-to-late July.
