Debuting their new “City Edition” uniforms, the Celtics topped the Brooklyn Nets Wednesday evening to stay undefeated at home and improve to 13-4.
Here’s what we saw:
1. Greeted by the loudest pregame cheers he’s received this season, Kemba Walker returned to the starting lineup. Walker was not playing with a minutes restriction. after sustaining a neck strain following a scary collision in Boston’s game against the Denver Nuggets last Friday. The injury forced Walker to miss only one game — Monday’s win against the Sacramento Kings — snapping his streak of 158 consecutive games played. With Walker’s return, the Celtics assigned Tremont Waters to the G-League.
