This year looks a lot different for the Boston Celtics. A championship is always the goal—that’s the standard—but this year’s roster isn’t nearly as equipped to get there. From Jayson Tatum’s Achilles rupture to Boston’s trade-filled summer, the 2025-26 squad looks nothing like years past.
Yet that might make it even more intriguing to follow. With expectations often come disappointments. But this year’s team has been painted with very few expectations. And because of that, they have a chance to surprise a lot of people around the NBA ecosystem. And it all starts this week, as Celtics training camp is set to get underway.
