Anfernee Simons is finally on his way to appearing in the playoffs again.
Boston Celtics guard Anfernee Simons has spent the past five years waiting to get another taste of postseason basketball. He shouldered the responsibility of replacing CJ McCollum with the Portland Trail Blazers, did the same when Damian Lillard was traded, and even helped the franchise turn things around with a strong second half of the 2024-25 season.
After five years on the outside looking in, however, the Celtics are actively gifting Simons a long-awaited opportunity to return to the playoffs.
