Celtics Notes: Payton Pritchard Prediction, Insider Thinks Boston Should Bring Back All-Star, More

Boston Celtics reporter Noa Dalzell had a bold prediction for point guard Payton Pritchard ahead of the 2025-26 season.

The reporter thinks Pritchard's increased role this season will make him an All-Star.

"This is a great opportunity for him. I don't know if it's going to happen because its really hard because [players] have elite seasons and are not named All-Stars," Dalzell said. "But, I could see if this team does really well next season and exceeds expectations, they're probably going to be granted two All-Stars. Payton Pritchard could be in that conversation." 

Max Lederman of NBC Sports Boston believes the C's should make a move to bring back All-Star guard Kyrie Irving, who had an injury riddled tenure in Boston.
