The Boston Celtics will look a whole lot different in 2025-26.
After falling to the New York Knicks in the second round of the 2025 playoffs and losing Jayson Tatum to a ruptured Achilles tendon, the Celtics made significant roster changes: Out are 2024 NBA champions Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kornet and (presumably) Al Horford, and in are the likes of Anfernee Simons, Luka Garza, Josh Minott, RJ Luis Jr. and first-round pick Hugo Gonzalez.
Considering Boston will be without five members of last season’s eight-man rotation to start the season, expectations have been lowered for Joe Mazzulla’s club. But with Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard set to assume larger roles, it’s certainly possible the C’s could exceed those expectations while embracing the role of underdog.
