Payton Pritchard’s big contract is years in the making
BOSTON — Four years ago, Payton Pritchard wanted out of Boston. He had fallen out of the Celtics’ rotation and grew frustrated at his lack of playing time, eager to show what he was capable of as a pro. But despite wanting out, he wasn’t traded at that midseason deadline. And the rest is history. […]

What is Sam Hauser’s role?
The 2023, 2024 and 2025 drafts all saw the Celtics select wings with their top pick. In all three cases, they found contributing players in Jordan Walsh, Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez.

Bitcoin, Dogecoin, gold, Tesla, it didn’t matter; everyone thought they had found the infinite money glitch. That’s what the Boston Celtics feel like two preseason games in. Jayson Tatum, […]

The Celtics finally unveiled something resembling their actual team Saturday night.

Payton Pritchard and Neemias Queta, two of Boston’s most frequent starters last season, came off the bench. For a few minutes, we had something to study. Boston fell […]
The Celtics have changed the conversation
First, let’s quiet the injury talk. No doubt precautions will be taken with Jayson Tatum (28), Paul George (36), and Mitchell Robinson (28). Derrick White (32) might even take a few more days off after playing 73+ games over each of the last three seasons. Their age and usage are all legitimate concerns, but this […]
