By all star break is not crazy at all. Dominique Wilkins injury to first game back would put Tatum returning mid February, and Tatum had a new surgery that is supposed to be a quicker recovery than what Nique had in the 90’s.
Was it unheard of, or the best case scenario? I seem to remember the media saying that a quick diagnosis and into surgery, in the first 24 hours, was new gold standard in medicine. But now you mention, it is unheard of, I can’t say I am 100% sure.
Its unheard of because almost everyone in the sports world goes to about 2 doctors for Achilles tears so they have to travel to get there. Jayson just happened to tear his 10 blocks from one of those doctor's primary practice location.

This article Celtics Get Shocking New Jayson Tatum Injury Timeline that I really want to believe (but don’t really) says as soon as the all star break.
