It’s been a summer of change for the Boston Celtics, as they’ve made several major moves to afford their roster.

The Rhode Island native has led the […]

The Boston Celtics’ record-setting $6.1 billion sale to William Chisholm is expected to close late next week or early the following week, according to a recent report by Sportico. Three people familiar with the details, who were not authorized to speak publicly, said the deal is nearing its final stage. The transaction still requires approval […]

The Boston Celtics have been one of the more successful teams in the league over the past few years, and it would make sense to give credit to the talent. Nonetheless, coaching matters as well, and Joe Mazzulla has been a big reason for their success, and the organization is honoring that by giving him […]

PROVIDENCE — Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum still has a lot of work to do before he’s back on the court, but he’s shown progress in his recovery from a ruptured Achilles. Nowhere was that more apparent than in Providence on Thursday morning, as the 2024 NBA champion walked around the Manton Heights neighborhood without […]

Brad Stevens has been a busy man this offseason for the Boston Celtics. Aside from meeting with and charting a path for the future with new ownership taking over in Boston, Stevens has also been tasked with significantly cutting the Celtics’ overall payroll and tax bill. That is why Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday were […]

The Boston Celtics have made multiple frantic moves to keep themselves financially healthy in the absence of Jayson Tatum, who is recovering from an Achilles injury. The offseason overhaul has seen the departure of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis alongside multiple cap-conscious acquisitions. However, can Tatum be back before the expected timeline, which is currently […]

Fresh off a turbulent summer that saw them flip key veterans after losing Jayson Tatum to a torn Achilles, the Boston Celtics are expected to continue making financially driven moves.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White has accomplished a lot in his basketball career, winning everything from a gold medal to an NBA championship. Yet, the 31-year-old has failed to do something that various players across the league have: receive a technical foul. White, who’s known for being relatively mild-mannered, isn’t one to complain to the […]

The Boston Celtics have been busy clearing their books out of the second apron this offseason, trading Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday as they attempt to shed salary.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White revealed he gave up an extravagant 30th birthday trip to Mexico to join Team USA during the 2024 Paris Olympics, where the United States captured its fifth consecutive gold medal.

It’s been an offseason of change for the Boston Celtics, who traded Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, among multiple other moves, in an attempt to clear their salary cap situation. This, combined with Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury, will likely put more pressure on players like Derrick White to produce even more going into next season. […]

The Boston Celtics have kept busy this summer, moving around multiple key pieces in order to circumvent the second apron. And although Massachusetts native Georges Niang was hoping to prove himself in Boston, the forward was dealt to the Utah Jazz before he had a chance, departing on Tuesday afternoon as part of a salary-dumping […]

NBA veteran Ben Simmons is looking at what is next as an unrestricted free agent.

When news broke that the Boston Celtics were trading recently acquired combo forward Georges Niang and two future second-round picks to the Utah Jazz for RJ Luis Jr., it left fans wondering how Brad Stevens would further address his frontcourt heading into a forthcoming season without Jayson Tatum. Well, as it turns out, that wonder […]

The Boston Celtics had one goal this offseason: shed as much money as possible. Without Jayson Tatum on the court, the Celtics’ roster was far too expensive to keep together. The team’s first two moves in the offseason saw them save hundreds of millions of dollars. Boston sent Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers […]

The Boston Celtics are expected to compete for championships year in and year out, and they’ve been able to operate at that level for much of the 2010s and 2020s. However, less than two years removed from their most recent ring, the Celtics’ title hopes have suffered a big blow. And while some discuss the […]

The Boston Celtics have had quite an offseason, and not in a positive direction. In an effort to avoid the dreaded second apron, the Celtics parted ways with Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday in a trade firesale that likely took them out of contention for next year. Making the talent relinquishing a bit easier to […]

Last season, the Boston Celtics suffered their earliest playoff exit since 2021, giving them more time than usual to rest and recover. And while the C’s would’ve loved to go deeper into the postseason, they’ve made the most of the extra days off, with multiple players undergoing summer surgery. In June, Celtics star Jaylen Brown […]

The Boston Celtics had no choice but to pivot this offseason. After Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles during the 2025 NBA playoffs, the title window that once seemed wide open was suddenly forced shut.

Charles Bassey has never averaged more than 5.7 points per game in the NBA, but believes he proved his potential on the Boston Celtics’ 2025 Summer League roster.

With All-Star Jayson Tatum recovering from a ruptured Achilles injury and Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzinigis — two key contributors to the 2024 NBA Finals championship — Boston Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown will lead a team in flux. Outside of Derrick White, he’s the only starter left from the starting lineup that won it all […]

Immediately after the Boston Celtics were booted from the 2025 NBA Playoffs, Derrick White told reporters that he may have just played alongside some of his teammates for the last time.

In the aftermath of a gut-wrenching playoff exit and amid a backdrop of escalating financial pressure, the Boston Celtics have already made the boldest move of the 2025 NBA offseason: retreating strategically. By trading away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porziņģis, the Celtics voluntarily downgraded their top-end talent in a calculated effort to duck under the […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is a top-tier all-time basketball great, but he can be humbled in other sports. A video of the four-time NBA Most Valuable Player taking a few golf shots has recently gone viral, and not for flattering reasons. Clearly, golf isn’t James’ strong suit, and he will have to spend […]

One player who was in rumors of his own was Celtics star Derrick White, who has broken out with the team ever since being dealt […]

In a league where blockbuster trades or All-Star signings often measure offseason wins, the Boston Celtics bucked convention. No dramatic free-agent poaching. No splashy move that lit up headlines. Instead, they executed something far more vital: a strategic financial retreat. Boston’s 2025 offseason was defined not by who they brought in or let go but […]

Tennessee State recently announced the hire of former Duke standout Nolan Smith as the next men’s basketball head coach. But, per a report by Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson, Smith was far from the only big name considered for the position. Tennessee State Athletics has been making big moves in recent years, first hiring Eddie George […]

Just like every year, the 2025 NBA Summer League gave prospects of all kinds playing time to prove their worth to franchises. For the Boston Celtics, the Summer League especially represents an opportunity to snag players on minimum deals for a season set to be highly transitional. In the five games the Celtics played in […]

This summer has been all about avoiding the second apron for the Boston Celtics. In late June, they traded two key members from their 2024 title run — center Kristaps Porzingis and guard Jrue Holiday — because of the new CBA’s punitive tax penalties. And on Thursday afternoon, they cut point guard JD Davison to […]

The Boston Celtics will look a lot different next season as they went through some big changes over the offseason. Outside of some of their core five being traded, the Celtics have also just made a decision on one of their role players. G League MVP JD Davison was recently waived from the team, according […]

In theory, Boston Celtics fans should love forward Georges Niang. The 32-year-old hails from Massachusetts and grew up less than an hour away from TD Garden. He also plays selflessly and is all about team, explaining why he has the most regular season wins of any NBA player since 2020 (with Celtics star Jayson Tatum […]

Jayson Tatum is sometimes criticized for how he performs on the big stage. Though, as he was fighting to keep the Boston Celtics out of a precarious position during the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the superstar forward fully embraced the moment and his role as a franchise pillar. He was absolutely masterful in Game 4 versus […]

Even a wedding could not stop Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum from putting in the work. Tatum is widely known in the NBA as one of the hardest-working players. His life has always revolved around basketball. His passion has fueled him to become the Celtics’ cornerstone, leading them to the championship in 2024. But he […]

The Boston Celtics have made the playoffs 11 seasons running, which is enough for the longest active streak in the NBA. Reaching the postseason has been an afterthought for them, yet that streak could be in jeopardy for the first time in over a decade. The 2025-26 Celtics are surrounded by question marks. Boston doesn’t […]

Veteran center Al Horford has been a calming presence within the Boston Celtics‘ locker room for nearly half of his 18-year career. However, the C’s might not be able to rely on him for much longer.

Despite statements to the contrary, the Boston Celtics are reportedly eager to trade Anfernee Simons.
