Celtics big man Xavier Tillman will not be available Friday night in Orlando. Boston ruled Tillman out for its NBA Cup matchup with the Magic at the Kia Center for personal reasons. The 26-year-old Tillman has seen action in seven of the Celtics’ nine games this season, averaging 8.9 minutes, 2.9 points and 2.4 rebounds per appearance. He was a healthy DNP in Wednesday night’s 136-107 win over the Wizards at TD Garden as head coach Joe Mazzulla tightened his frontcourt rotation. The Celtics’ victory over Washington snapped a two-game losing streak. They’ll look to improve to 5-5 on the…

FOXBORO — Patriots quarterback Drake Maye won’t likely have all day to sit in the pocket and go through his reads Sunday against the Buccaneers. The Buccaneers’ defense, which offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels called, “exotic and unconventional” but “so well scouted,” have one of the highest blitz rates in the NFL at 32.5%. That’s led to a 39.8% pressure rate, which ranks fourth in the NFL, and an average time to throw of 2.67 seconds, which is second-lowest in the NFL. McDaniels has faced a Todd Bowles-led defense plenty of times in his coaching career. Bowles was the Jets’ head…
If it seems weird that the Sox would do this merely to save $125,000 — which is the difference between the $8 million option and the $7.875 million they’ll pay him if he hits his incentives — I agree! That is weird! What is going on here!The big question, of course, is what this deal means vis a vis a potential trade of Jarren Duan. The fact is, I don’t think it means much, except that a little bit of cost certainty could theoretically help move trade negotiations along.But I still have to wonder, what is going on here? A…

The Miami Dolphins’ season was over before it even started in 2025. A slew of preseason injuries saw Miami lose several valuable starters, and it took nearly a month for the Dolphins to get into the win column. The Fins fired now-former general manager Chris Grier after a 2-7 start. Grier had been involved with the organization since 2000, meaning he saw all 25 years of the NFL’s longest postseason win drought. Now, owner Stephen Ross has set set his sights on making a new hire. The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue believes New England Patriots’ vice president of player personnel, Ryan…

Blowout win? Career night? Doesn’t matter to Joe Mazzulla. As the Celtics were salting away a 136-107 waxing of the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night that featured standout performances from Josh Minott and Neemias Queta, Mazzulla took both players to task for blowing defensive assignments. For Queta, it was failing to hustle out to contest an Alex Sarr 3-pointer with 8:29 remaining and Boston up 111-84. For Minott, it was lackadaisical effort on a Malaki Branham layup with 3:54 to play in a 24-point game. Both plays triggered the same response: a Celtics timeout and an earful from the head…

For the first quarter of Monday night’s game at TD Garden, the Celtics’ offense consisted of Jaylen Brown, and not much else. Brown poured in 16 first-quarter points, but Boston trailed cellar-dwelling Washington by 14 — an uninspiring start for a team that had just lost at home to the likely lottery-bound Utah Jazz two nights earlier. Then, reinforcements arrived. With Brown watching from the bench, his Celtics teammates blitzed the Wizards, scoring 23 of the first 27 points in the second quarter. Boston built a 10-point lead by halftime and broke the game open in the third quarter en…
