To say that preseason in the NBA is meaningless would be disingenuous. But results rarely matter, as it is the process of getting into game speed and jelling with teammates that should take precedence for NBA teams. Nonetheless, getting a win or two always elicits a good feeling, and this was certainly the case for […]

Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla is the kind of coach that doesn’t take crap from others, both from his players and from his opponents. On Wednesday night preseason action against the Toronto Raptors, Mazzulla did not take too kindly to some showboating from guard Immanuel Quickley. With less than four minutes remaining in the […]

The Boston Celtics suffered a potential blow on Wednesday during their preseason game against the Toronto Raptors.

BOSTON — Boston Celtics skipper Joe Mazzulla did not have the luxury of a normal start to his head coaching career.

The Boston Celtics are just one week away from kicking off their 2025-26 NBA season with a home game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Porzingis was traded […]

The Boston Celtics are expected to undergo a transition season with Jayson Tatum expected to be out for much of the 2025-25 campaign.

The Boston Celtics are just over a week away from kicking off their 2025-26 NBA season with a home game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

As the 2025-26 NBA season slowly draws near, the Boston Celtics organization has been preparing for the lulls of a campaign without their franchise star Jayson Tatum.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tyrese Haliburton, Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Jaylen Brown have a few things in common.

[…]

Recently, reports surfaced from ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania that the Boston Celtics were cautiously optimistic that superstar Jayson Tatum could return from his torn Achilles injury at some point during the upcoming 2025-26 season.

Along with tackling his daily injury rehab, Tatum will serve as the inaugural Chief Basketball Officer of Duke University. The blue-blood program announced that the six-time NBA All-Star […]

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown could’ve practically attended any college he wanted coming out of high school. He was a five-star recruit with tremendous upside, and major programs like Kentucky, Kansas, and North Carolina were all interested. Instead, Brown took the road less traveled — as he’s been apt to do in his basketball career. […]

The Boston Celtics are just over two weeks away from kicking off their 2025-26 season with a home game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Boston Celtics will look like a completely different team this season after the moves that they made over the offseason. One move they made was not re-signing Al Horford, and throughout the summer, there were rumors that he would sign with the Golden State Warriors. After some time, the move officially happened, and the […]

When Al Horford’s signing with the Golden State Warriors in free agency was officially announced over the weekend, it marked the end of his tenure with the Boston Celtics. The veteran big man had played the last four seasons with the Celtics, playing a key role in the team’s 2024 championship run. As Horford gave […]

Earlier this week, the Golden State Warriors signed veteran free agent big man Al Horford to a multi-year deal ahead of his 19th NBA season.

The Boston Celtics are currently preparing for a 2025-26 season that will likely be played in its entirety without superstar Jayson Tatum, who tore his Achilles vs the New York Knicks in last year’s playoffs.

The Boston Celtics enter the 2025-26 season with expectations turned upside down.

The franchise reacted swiftly, restructuring its roster in […]

The Boston Celtics will enter what many have already branded as a transitional season after the Jayson Tatum injury led to a considerable clearout for financial purposes.

The Boston Celtics are currently preparing for a 2025-26 season that will see them take the floor with a vastly different roster than what they’ve had two years. Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis are now on different teams thanks to trades orchestrated to duck the second apron, and Jayson Tatum is expected to miss the […]

BOSTON — The NBA is a constantly evolving league, serving as living example of the “adapt or die” philosophy. And if the Boston Celtics don’t adjust to the current basketball landscape — especially with star forward Jayson Tatum out — they could miss the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. The Celtics […]

BOSTON — There’s no denying that Boston Celtics guard Anfernee Simons is an elite shooter. But whenever his talents are discussed, it always comes with a caveat about his lacking defensive ability. Simons wants to change that, and Boston will provide him with the chance to do so on a bigger stage than the former […]

The Boston Celtics are less than a month away from kicking off their 2025-26 season with a roster that will look a whole lot different than the one that won 60-plus games the last two years.

Although Boston still […]

Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens had a lot of goals heading into the offseason. He, along with the rest of the office, needed to help the C’s escape the second apron while ushering in a new ownership group. Stevens accomplished this, but there’s still another task that looms even larger involving Boston’s […]

The Boston Celtics are going through a retool after overhauling the roster this offseason.

Tanking is pretty much a foreign concept to the Boston Celtics. And while the historic franchise has inevitably had down years, those haven’t been common in the 21st century. Some pundits and fans expect that to change during the 2025-26 season, as Celtics star Jayson Tatum is out indefinitely due to injury and Boston’s once […]

The Boston Celtics are currently preparing for what figures to be a bit of a transitional year in 2025-26.

Recently, Tatum stopped […]

The Boston Celtics are about a month away from kicking off their 2025 NBA season, which will take place without Jayson Tatum in the lineup.

Jayson Tatum suffered a torn right Achilles tendon during the Boston Celtics’ playoff run and was expected to miss all of the 2025-26 NBA season.
