The Boston Celtics are going to look a lot different from the way they did a year ago. They will have three new starters on the team with Jayson Tatum out and Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis gone.
NBA media day may consist of many different surprises. Whether it’s wacky hair or improbable quotes, fans never know what to expect on the long-awaited day.
Jeff Teague claims that Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton are recovering in very different ways ahead of the new season. The NBA was dealt a massive blow during last year’s playoffs when two of its brightest stars went down with season-ending injuries.
