Latest news and updates about the Celtics
Everything seems to be official. The NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and the Boston Celtics surprised most fans with their level of activity. Over a three-day span, Boston completed four trades, parting ways with Anfernee Simons, Xavier Tillman, Josh Minott, and Chris Boucher. Each move carried meaningful financial implications, as the Celtics emerged from Thursday’s deadline below both the first […]
After a failed NBA trade deadline that had the Miami Heat as the only team in the entire Eastern Conference to make zero moves, it’s back to reality. No Giannis, no Ja Morant— just this same core that sports a mediocre 27-25 record and in the play-in picture for the fourth straight season. There are […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat get back to it with a two-game road trip starting in Boston appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Joe Mazzulla is never one to accept praise, often deflecting it toward his staff and players. He famously told Derrick White “nobody cares” after being congratulated for winning Coach of the Month. He’d probably even call this piece a waste of time, but I’m here to say it’s time for him to get his credit. […]
I need to start with a confession: at the beginning of this season, I wasn’t a Baylor Scheierman believer. Not because he wasn’t good, but more that he was hard for me to place. He wasn’t jumping off the screen in any obvious way, and he didn’t dominate one skill the way some of the […]
One of the core players from Kentucky’s first team in the Mark Pope era has agreed to a contract with the team that drafted him.

The Boston Celtics were down several key players on the second night of a back-to-back as they took on the Houston Rockets. Houston, who came into the game as the fourth seed in the West with a record of 31-18, was widely seen as the favorites given the absences of Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser, and […]
It was a busy trade deadline day for the Boston Celtics, who salary-dumped three players and converted two-way center Amari Williams to a standard contract. Plus, there’s the addition of veteran center Nikola Vučević, acquired from the Chicago Bulls in the Anfernee Simons trade, which sparked the organization’s final 72 hours of activity. Boston’s trio […]

The Celtics have traded Xavier Tillman to the Charlotte Hornets, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Thursday afternoon. Tillman, who was acquired from Memphis just months ahead of the 2024 championship, was not in the rotation but had become a vocal leader in the locker room and one of the team’s veteran players. He only appeared […]
The Boston Celtics acquired Nikola Vucevic and a second-round pick from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Anfernee Simons and a second-round pick. This is the first trade the Celtics made at the deadline in the 2025-26 season, but what if I told you that this trade has roots all the way back to the […]
Six months ago, when the Boston Celtics acquired Anfernee Simons from the Portland Trail Blazers, the pairing came with an expected expiration. No matter how well he fit, moving on from Simons and his $27.7 million expiring contract always loomed, and that reality arrived abruptly less than two days before Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET NBA […]

Williams, 24, was the 46th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He has appeared in 13 games for the Celtics this year, making two starts. But it’s his […]
The Boston Celtics used the closing hours of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline to finalize a trade sending center Chris Boucher to the Utah Jazz, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. Update: Reports indicate that the Jazz are also getting a Denver 2027 2nd round pick for taking on Boucher’s salary, and the organization plans to waive […]
What a game from the short handed Celtics!!! I'm very surprised to see all the Ime Udoka hate from Rockets fans. I thought he was a decent coach. I'm very happy with Joe Mazzulla as coach and Brad Stevens as GM. The Celtics are in good hands. It's crazy how it seems like half the league has been traded over the past couple of days. It's amazing how many fans hate most of their players, their coach and GM. My favorites are in bold. Wha...
The Celtics began trade deadline week by sending Anfernee Simons to the Bulls in exchange for Nikola Vučević in a significant move for the short term and potentially setting up long-term flexibility for the franchise as they attempt to return to contention. The move, or any others that happen ahead of 3 p.m. on Thursday, will all face an […]

The Celtics entered the season with a lot of question marks at the center position. In fact, that was one of the main reasons many people picked the Celtics for the lottery. Fast forward to today and Neemias Queta has had himself a breakout season, Luka Garza has established himself as a rotation big, and […]
Note: I’m writing this preview before the Houston Rockets take on the Boston Celtics. I’m also writing this well ahead of the NBA trade deadline, which is Thursday at 2pm CT. So if you’re wondering why I’m not talking about how the Rockets have traded for prime Hakeem Olajuwon or whatever, you have your answer. […]
The numbers say the Houston Rockets are a top five offense. The eye test says something very different. The Rockets shot 41 percent against the Boston Celtics, and on top of that, they were dominated on the boards by the Celtics, leading to an ugly 114-93 defeat. The Rockets were outrebounded 57-38 in reversal of […]
