The Boston Celtics could be facing some sizable changes this offseason after their run at back-to-back titles came up short on Friday night.
Not only will Boston face the real possibility of Jayson Tatum missing a majority — if not all — of the 2025-26 season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, Brad Stevens and the Celtics’ top brass might have to break up the team’s roster in order to lessen the hefty luxury-tax penalties set to hit the club’s payroll next year.
But even with the potential fears looming that this latest contention window has closed, Jaylen Brown offered up some optimism in the immediate aftermath of Friday’s season-ending blowout loss to the Knicks.
