Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups have been arrested in connection with a federal investigation into sports betting, people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Thursday. Rozier played for the Celtics from 2015 to 2019. The Celtics drafted Billups third overall in the 1997 NBA Draft. The exact charge or charges they face were not immediately known. Two people spoke to the AP about Rozier on condition of anonymity because they couldn’t discuss details of the investigation publicly. One of these people also told the AP of Billups’ arrest. The…

The Boston Celtics’ new season got off to a disappointing start on Wednesday night with a 117-116 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden. The new-look Celtics played well for the most part without Jayson Tatum (Achilles), showing the type of spirit and resolve that Joe Mazzulla is looking for. They faltered late, however, allowing the 76ers to come back and steal the game in the final minute. After entering halftime down 57-51, Boston responded with a huge third quarter, outscoring Philadelphia 35-18. The Celtics led by as many as 13 points early in the fourth quarter and appeared…

HINGHAM — Come out like a rocket. That’s the motto the No. 3 Sandwich field hockey team follows to start every game, and the words are behind how it pulled out a signature 2-1 win over No. 10 Hingham on Wednesday night to hand the Harborwomen (15-1-1) their first loss. A pair of goals in the opening nine minutes from the Blue Knights (15-1-1) was enough overwhelming momentum to draw a first-quarter timeout from Hingham. Their strong defense came through in the clutch the rest of the way as the Harborwomen responded with the type of play expected from the…

MATTAPOISETT — Joseph Case came into the territory of a familiar South Coast Conference foe, Old Rochester, and earned a 3-0 sweep for a crucial league victory Wednesday night. Set scores were 25-22, 25-20, 27-25. Coming into the match, Case (17-1) came in on a 10-game winning streak, while entering its toughest week on the schedule with a matchup against defending Div. 5 champion Bourne on Monday, which the Cardinals won 3-2, and then two matchups with a perennial contender in the Bulldogs later in the week. “We’re really taking it one day at a time,” Case head coach Brendan…
A 13-point fourth-quarter lead against an undermanned Philadelphia 76ers squad wasn’t enough to earn the Celtics a win in their season opener. Boston’s first game after its seismic offseason overhaul ended in a 117-116 loss at TD Garden. Jaylen Brown and Derrick White – the only remaining starters from this team’s 61-win predecessor – each scored 25 points to lead the Celtics. New starting center Neemias Queta had 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting and eight blocks before fouling out late in the fourth quarter. Payton Pritchard and Anfernee Simons combined for 30 points, and both were on the court to…
One of the biggest mysteries of the Boston Celtics season is whether star forward Jayson Tatum will return from his Achilles injury. Tatum tore his Achilles tendon during the Eastern Conference semi-finals in May, an injury that usually requires about a year for a full recovery. Tatum expressed his desire to get back on the court this season, and according to WEEI’s Celtics writer Justin Turpin, he thinks Tatum could return by late February. “By February, nine months will have passed since his Achilles rupture,” Turpin wrote on Wednesday. “And if he’s fully cleared, with no further risk, there’s a…
Two Sundays ago in New Orleans, as Drake Maye was dissecting the Saints’ defense, a mic’d up Harold Landry III marveled at how the New England Patriots quarterback appeared to be in a “flow state.” “He has ultra instinct going full blast right now,” linebacker Christian Elliss added. That “flow state” is producing incredible results: Over his last four games (all Patriots wins), Maye has completed a ridiculous 78.1 percent of his passes for 959 yards with seven touchdown passes, zero interceptions and a 132.6 passer rating. He already has four games this season with a least 200 passing yards,…
