‘You can’t just have a fastball’: What Joe Mazzulla said of the Celtics’ lineup, big man situations ahead of preseason opener

The Celtics open up the preseason on Sunday when they take on the 76ers, and it appears that we might get a glimpse as to how they might look for the 2023-24 regular season.

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla is anticipating everyone to be available for Sunday’s game, but noted that the key players will only get “light minutes,” he told reporters on Saturday. That includes the newly-acquired Jrue Holiday, who joined the Celtics earlier this week, and Kristaps Porzingis, who was Boston’s biggest acquisition over the summer.

Following the acquisitions of Holiday and Porzingis, the Celtics’ starting lineup situation doesn’t seem to be totally clear.
