Celtics Notes: Bold Prediction, Major Jayson Tatum Update, Free Agent Reveals Why He Chose Boston

An insider has made a bold prediction regarding the Boston Celtics' upcoming 2025-26 season, described as tumultuous with significant ongoing roster movement expected to continue throughout the offseason.

Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens provided a major update on superstar Jayson Tatum, confirming the 27-year-old is likely to miss most, if not all, of the upcoming campaign. Despite this, the Celtics organization and fans are confident Tatum is doing everything possible to return.

Amid the unpredictable roster changes, a major free agent acquisition discussed his decision to sign with Boston, indicating that the opportunities presented by the Celtics' new-look roster were unique and not available elsewhere.

In other news, Celtics player Jaylen Brown stated that he believes he hasn't yet shown his best in the NBA.

Twitter updates included: Jordan Walsh being ejected after a scuffle with Pelle Larsson; Walsh subsequently apologizing to Brad Stevens and the front office for the incident, noting it was out of character, while coach Joe Mazzulla expressed his approval; and former Celtics forward Drew Peterson agreeing to a two-way NBA deal with the Charlotte Hornets, reuniting him with coach Charles Lee.
