BOSTON — The Boston Celtics have surprised even their most ardent supporters. They currently sit third with a 25–15 record. With Jayson Tatum’s return on the horizon, the Celtics have been linked with Jaren Jackson Jr.
When Jayson Tatum went down with a devastating Achilles injury, it seemed inevitable that the Boston Celtics would endure a difficult season. However, the Celtics, led by Jaylen Brown, have climbed to the 2nd spot in the Western Conference.
The Boston Celtics are doing the unthinkable this season. After losing Jayson Tatum to an Achilles tear during last year’s playoff run, this season was expected to be a down year for the team.
With 20 days left until the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline, Boston Celtics guard Anfernee Simons continues to force a difficult discussion within the organization.
The Celtics offense was struggling to get anything going for most of this game. However, when Boston needed a hero, The Anferno answered the call. Anfernee Simons scored a season high 39 points on 13-28 shooting from the field and 7-16 from three.
It's hard for everything to go right in the NBA, whether that's due to managerial decisions, bad luck with injuries, or other factors. In league history, there are some moments that stand out, moments that could have gone in a completely different direction and drastically changed the league.
Anfernee Simons had his best performance in a Boston Celtics uniform to date on Thursday night, as he dropped 39 points, four rebounds, four assists, and seven three-pointers to lead the team to a 119-114 road win over the Miami Heat.
Thursday night in Miami looked like it was going to be one of those nights for the Boston Celtics. You know the ones—where the rim looks shrinking-small, the other team can’t miss, and the energy just feels flat.
Reserve Anfernee Simons scored 18 of his season-high 39 points in the fourth quarter as the Boston Celtics rallied to defeat the host Miami Heat 119-114 on Thursday night.
The Boston Celtics trailed by as many as 19 to the Miami Heat on Thursday night, and still managed to come away victorious with a 119-114 comeback win.
The Boston Celtics are contenders again this season. Not much was expected this season after it appeared they would be without superstar Jayson Tatum throughout the season after he tore his Achilles in last year’s playoff series against the New York Knicks, but now it appears he could be back in February or March.
The Boston Celtics have cooled off a bit in January, losing to the Denver Nuggets, San Antonio Spurs, and the Indiana Pacers in a four-game stretch. Obviously, the Pacers loss is the one indicating there's a problem.
For today's throwback we have a Hall of Famer and a Boston Celtics champion. Nate "Tiny" Archibald's NBA career (1970-1984) was legendary and was marked by incredible scoring and playmaking, making him the only player to lead the league in both points and assists in the same season (1972-73) with the Kansas City Kings.
Picture credit NBA Rivals Week tends to arrive quietly on the calendar, but the games themselves rarely feel ordinary. Familiar opponents, national attention, and baggage have a way of compressing a season into a few intense nights. For the Boston Celtics, Rivals Week in late January 2026 lands at a particularly revealing moment.
The Boston Celtics had a lot of turnover heading into this season, and many thought that they would somewhat struggle, especially without their best player.
Jaylen Brown closed December on an unsustainable scoring surge that temporarily elevated him into elite fantasy territory. That spike has created a rare sell-high opportunity for fantasy managers looking to improve long-term roster stability.
Sam Hauser, not Anfernee Simons, is the Celtic Brad Stevens needs to consider shipping out of Boston ahead of the February 5 trade deadline. Monday night was another example of that during the team's 98-96 loss to the Indiana Pacers.
Here are the extended highlights from Monday's Celtics loss to the Pacers in Indiana. The Pacers defeated the Celtics 98-96 courtesy of a game-winning shot from Pascal Siakam with 6.1 seconds left in the game.
As the NBA trade deadline (Feb. 5) looms closer every day, more rosters will begin to shake up. It’s both an exciting and nerve-racking time for fans. Some are eager for their team to trade for the final missing piece, while others are desperately begging for their favorite player not to be moved.
Despite being counted out on the heels of Jayson Tatum‘s Achilles tear, the Boston Celtics are putting forth a valiant effort in 2025-26. At 24-15, they have the third-best record in the Eastern Conference standings, behind only the Detroit Pistons (28-10) and New York Knicks (25-14).
Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla was not happy with the officiating in Monday’s 98-96 loss to the Indiana Pacers, and he spent his entire postgame press conference making that clear.
The Boston Celtics tried their best against the Indiana Pacers, a team that's at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, on Monday. The Celtics were without All-Star forward Jaylen Brown, who was out with lower-back spasms.
Free agent forward Torrey Craig is in advanced contract discussions with the Sydney Kings of the National Basketball League, sources tell Olgun Uluc of ESPN.
Five days ago, the Indiana Pacers were the NBA's worst team. After shocking the Boston Celtics Monday night, they've moved to second-worst — and they're gaining on the Sacramento Kings.
Celtics star Jaylen Brown has been fined $35K for “public criticism of the officiating” following Saturday’s game vs. San Antonio, the NBA announced today (via Twitter).
