Latest news and updates about the Celtics
Okay. Deep breaths. Today’s the day. Jayson Tatum finally returns to the basketball court in a Boston Celtics uniform. He really is an anomaly, isn’t he? Jayson Tatum: the 19-year-old superstar, champion, iron man. The guy who loves this game so much that coaches have to fight him to get him to take a night […]
The first thing that popped into my mind when I heard the news about Jayson Tatum was, I suspect, the first thing that popped into the minds of many of you. “Anticipation” by Carly Simon. No? Well, bear with me anyway. Anticipation for Tatum’s return has reached a fever pitch over the last month or […]
The Dallas Mavericks (21-41) head to the Garden Friday evening to square off against the near-league-leading Boston Celtics (41-21). It’s a quick turnaround after Thursday night’s game in Orlando, in which the Mavericks literally fumbled the win off an ugly inbounds pass with 1.4 seconds to go. On this second night of a back-to-back, Dallas […]
Jayson Tatum last played for the Boston Celtics 298 days ago, when his 42-point playoff masterpiece against the New York Knicks preceded what would become a nine-plus-month rehabilitation from a torn right Achilles tendon. Since then, he has worked to recover from surgery, regain strength, and progress through multiple 5-on-5 workouts in preparation for his […]

But, after much anticipation, it’s looking likely that the season debut will come sooner rather than later: Tatum is listed as questionable to play in Friday’s game against the […]
We’re back! Welcome to the Celtics’ Top-5 Highest IQ Plays of the Week! Sure, we love the high-flying dunks and the deep, off-the-dribble step-back threes, but this is a place for the under-the-radar plays that might not get the credit they deserve.

For the first time since he ruptured his Achilles tendon, Tatum is listed as questionable to appear in Friday’s game. Tatum, who was first injured in May in […]
Jaylen Brown was far from the only reason for the Boston Celtics’ blowout 29-point loss to the Charlotte Hornets in front of the home crowd on Wednesday night. The star shooting guard was one of only two Celtics to finish with a double-digit point total, with his 20 points finishing second only to Derrick White’s […]
BOSTON — Jaylen Brown wasn’t his sharpest Wednesday night against the Hornets. He missed four of his first six shots and four of his final six as the Celtics suffered a lopsided 118–89 defeat at TD Garden. “I take accountability,” Brown said. “I gotta be better at the rim and play with more energy.” Brown’s […]
The World Baseball Classic officially got underway last night with the first game in the Tokyo Dome that featured Chinese Taipei and Australia.

1. Lack of Effort Coming off a blowout win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, the Celtics got a taste of their own medicine against the Charlotte Hornets, getting crushed 118-89. This game was a rough watch all the way around. It felt like the Hornets had a 20+ point lead in this game from […]
BOSTON — For the first time in two years, when Xavier Tillman took the TD Garden parquet for his pregame shooting, he wasn’t donning Celtics green. Instead, the 26-year-old forward wore Hornets blue, making his return to Boston for the first time since he was unexpectedly traded to the Charlotte Hornets last month. And, from […]

The Boston Celtics hosted the Charlotte Hornets for their first meeting of the season on Wednesday night at TD Garden. Boston was flat-footed to start the game, and they struggled all night to keep pace with the young Hornets. It was a tough shooting night for the home team throughout; they hit just 10 three-pointers […]
With Cooper Flagg making a return soon (he’s questionable against Orlando Thursday but seeing as they go to Boston Friday, I expect that’s when he comes back), we thought it time to ask the staff what game or games they’re looking forward to. Bryan: I am looking forward to any game Cooper Flagg plays in […]

As the Celtics sweep through the final stretch of what’s been a magical season of career-best breakouts, I often think about a Media Day headline I wrote when expectations were in a significantly different state. The 2025-26 Celtics are one big Stay Ready squad. Ironically, “Stay Ready” isn’t the en vogue phrase of the 2025-26 […]
The 2025-2026 Boston Celtics have been defined by exceeding expectations, and no one on this Celtics roster, and maybe not in the entire league, has exceeded expectations more than Neemias Queta. There were plenty of reasons to be skeptical of the Celtics coming into the season; they would be relying on a roster comprised of […]

The SLC Dunk Staff and I were talking in our group chat recently and the topic of “The Process” came up. We were originally bashing the NBC/Peacock broadcast for airing a commercial that referred to the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers as “two teams that never rebuild, they just reload.” Apart from the blatant […]
