On Jan. 10, 2026, Luke Kornet and the San Antonio Spurs will be at TD Garden to square off against the Boston Celtics. It’ll be Kornet’s first game back in Boston after leaving the team as a free agent this summer. In early July, the Texas native inked a four-year, $41 million deal to join the Spurs.
Kornet’s situation is funny. Typically, a player will leave in free agency and see the fanbase sour on them. In his case, everyone just seems to be happy that he got himself a nice payday.
Celtics fans will appreciate Kornet's dedication and hard work, as well as his humor
The 30-year-old was a real success story in Boston.
