After 298 days, Jayson Tatum’s return is official
BOSTON — Jayson Tatum will make his long-anticipated return when the Celtics face the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night, the team announced on Friday afternoon via the official injury report. Tatum was listed as questionable on Thursday for the first time since rupturing his Achilles tendon last May, after 298 days on the sidelines. Many NBA […]
Being happy because Jayson Tatum is back
There are a number of equally valid, sufficiently scrupulous takes to ring in the New Jayson Tatum Year. “Adding good players is good for your team,” “If the Celtics think Tatum is ready to go, then he is ready,” “I support Jayson Tatum’s decision, it’s his injury and his comeback,” “See? I told you he […]
The Anomaly is back, act accordingly
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 […]
Anticipation—The Week in Green
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 […]
Why the debate over Jayson Tatum’s role is meaningless
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 […]
Celtics teammates react to big Jayson Tatum injury news
BOSTON — No one knows exactly what it will look like when Jayson Tatum laces up for the Celtics for the very first time this season. 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 […]
Don’t panic over Payton Pritchard’s slump
Payton Pritchard has become one of the most important offensive engines for the Celtics. Even with Jayson Tatum getting set to return, Boston needs him to produce. Since Pritchard moved to the bench, the Celtics are 8-0 in games in which he scored 20+ points in and just 2-3 in games in which he scores […]

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.

Jaylen Brown’s recent struggles culminated in stinker against Hornets
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 […]
Jaylen Brown shoulders the blame after ‘uncharacteristic’ Celtics loss to Hornets
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 […]

Xavier Tillman reacts to Celtics trade, Boston return
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 […]
Hornets stomp Celtics 118-89 in potential playoff preview
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.

Episode 4 of Jayson Tatum documentary drops
During NBC’s broadcast of the Spurs vs. 76ers on Tuesday March 3rd, they ran Episode 4 of Jayson Tatum’s Documentary ‘The Quiet Place.’ For as much speculation that has gone on about his return, the documentary dropping this quickly feels like a good sign that Tatum is coming back sooner rather than later. At the […]
The 2025-26 Celtics possess the power of Staying Ready
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 Most Improved Player case for Neemias Queta who is probably better than your team’s big man
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 […]

Parquet Plays : How the short handed Celtics maintained their offensive identity
Despite being shorthanded without Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta, the Boston Celtics marched into Milwaukee on the night of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s return and delivered a resounding statement, dismantling the Bucks in a dominant 108–81 triumph.
