The 2025-26 Celtics, who open their season Wednesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden, can be described in two words. The first: “unproven.” Brad Stevens used that one – over and over again – at the outset of training camp to describe Boston’s current roster, which swapped out half of its established, championship-winning rotation for a crew of untested or overlooked newcomers. Including the rehabbing Jayson Tatum, who will miss at least the next several months while he recovers from Achilles surgery, the five players the Celtics lost this offseason boast a combined 14 NBA All-Star appearances. Their…
With his ever-present flair for the dramatic, Brad Marchand met his moments both early and late on Tuesday, and his Florida Panthers teammates – not to mention serendipity – made sure he left Causeway Street with a smile. After Morgan Geekie tied the game with 1:31 left with the goalie pulled, the Panthers got a fluky game-winner when Carter Verhaeghe hit the post and the long rebound went off Andrew Peeke’s skate and into the net with 25.7 seconds left. That gave the Panthers an entertaining, emotion-packed and tad bizarre 4-3 victory over the Bruins in Marchand’s first game back…
Drake Maye is making waves in the NFL this season with his exceptional performance. He’s been so impressive that ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky compared Maye to former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. “I think what stands out the most about Drake Maye right now is that he reminds me of a young Ben Roethlisberger,” Orlovsky said on Tuesday during “NFL Live”. “Here’s the thing, so often Maye sheds off that arm tackle that in the pocket shove, and I think you’re realizing when he was coming out of school how important that frame was.” Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 225…
If you were at all surprised about Alex Bregman’s decision to opt-out, then that probably means you haven’t been paying much attention to the way Scott Boras has been doing business lately. Bregman’s decision to sign a short-term, option-laden contract last year, and then to opt out and test free agency again this year, followed a pattern that’s already proven successful for Boras clients. The six-year/$151 million dollar contract signed by Matt Chapman, a third baseman who was the same age then as Bregman is now, may be particularly instructive. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)If the Sox do say goodbye to…

Ryan Puntiri knew when he took over at Braintree in 2021 it wasn’t the same program he was a part of as an assistant coach 15 years prior, when the Wamps won back-to-back state titles. Braintree wasn’t in dire straits by any means, but had experienced lulls. Puntiri took the helm with a clear mission in mind of guiding Braintree back to prominence. That’s been far from an easy task, especially when playing in the always challenging Bay State Conference. But the success this season is further proof that Braintree is on its way to achieving that high-level objective. “The…
BOSTON (WHDH) – Brad Marchand is bracing for an emotional evening. He’s set to play against the Bruins in Boston for the first time since he was traded away to the Panthers at last year’s trade deadline.“I’m excited for this one, I mean it’ll be fun to compete against my, you know, guys that you’ve been playing with for a long time and be on the other side of it,” Marchand said. “It kinda hits you when you’re here a little bit more. I haven’t thought a ton about it up to this point but, I think that’s probably why…
It was reported on Monday that the New York Knicks “did some backchannel exploration to determine if there was any pathway to pursue” Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla over the offseason. Mazzulla discussed the matter during a Tuesday interview with Zolak and Bertrand on 98.5 the Sports Hub. “That never reached me,” Mazzulla said, as transcribed by MassLive’s Brian Robb. “There is only one team that I want to coach: it’s the Boston Celtics. I’m going to be here for however long ownership and the city will have me. There is no other team that I’m coaching, it’s here…
