More than a year after his first game in a Celtics uniform, Ron Harper Jr. finally landed an official contract with Boston this week. Harper had his training camp tryout deal converted to a two-way contract on Thursday, enabling him to play in games for both the Celtics and their G League affiliate this season. The promotion was a long time coming for the 6-foot-6 Rutgers product, who played for the Celtics’ Summer League squad last offseason, attended C’s training camp last fall and appeared in 14 games for the Maine Celtics early last season. “I just came in and…
If someone told you the Bruins had pumped in eight goals and gotten good goaltending in two games, you might think they’d have a little something to show for it. No such luck. In the last two games, the B’s looked nothing like the team that was advertised, which might have been OK for the entertainment value but not for their quest to make the playoffs. The problem was that while they were able to find the back of the net with more frequency than expected against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday and then the Vegas Golden Knights on…
The Boston Celtics may already have a serious injury concern before they’ve even tipped off the regular season. Celtics star Jaylen Brown suffered a hamstring injury during the team’s preseason finale on Wednesday night and while he was able to practice on Friday, his status for opening night is still in question. “Joe Mazzulla said Jaylen Brown was able to do everything but the live portion of practice today” Jay King of The Athletic posted on X.

Jaylen Brown was not the most accomplished athlete in this arena. It doesn’t happen often. It was the case, however, when the four-time NBA All-Star jumped into the 10-lane pool at the Connell Recreation Center on the campus of Boston College. Brown, who has trained in the water over the last four offseasons, was there to work with five-time Olympian and current Boston College swim coach Dara Torres. Torres received a request from Celtics trainer Drew Moore asking if any Eagles coaches would train a hoopster in the water. The four-time gold medalist graciously accepted and found out it was…
Red Sox Report Card Week continues at the Herald with a starting rotation that ran the gamut from A+ to F in 2025. The Red Sox had 15 pitchers make at least one start this season, a sign of the organization’s newfound depth, as well as the toll that injuries and ineffectiveness took on a team whose pitching staff was hanging by a thread at season’s end. For clarity’s sake, several pitchers fall under the ‘Incomplete’ category, and openers like Brennan Bernardino will be graded in the reliever report card. Brayan Bello: A- Bello made enormous strides in his third…
Week 6 featured some noteworthy games, including one out of the Central Mass. ranks as Uxbridge saw its 31-game winning streak snapped with a 39-33 overtime loss to Auburn. There were intriguing upsets across the board as well, with Brockton toppling previously-ranked Weymouth, 19-6, most notably. Usual heavy hitters Catholic Memorial, St. John’s Prep, Springfield Central and King Philip have led the pack for the majority of the season, with some newcomers (Barnstable, Winchester) joining them in the hunt for the Herald’s top spot. Who else is making a push as we rapidly close in on postseason play with three…
Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal figures to be a prominent talking point this MLB offseason. Skubal becomes a free agent next offseason, which has led some people (The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal included) to argue that Detroit should consider trading Skubal this winter. New intel on Skubal from The New York Post’s Jon Heyman didn’t do anything to diffuse the rumors surrounding Detroit’s dominant lefty. Heyman indicated that there is a gargantuan gap in contract negotiations between Skubal and the Tigers. This report is music to the ears of other teams interested in Skubal, of course. Then again, whoever ends up…
I’ve been a Pokemon fan for just as long as I’ve been a Red Sox fan. With the release of Pokemon Legends Z-A for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 today, I thought it could be fun to match up Red Sox players with their Pokémon counterparts and put a team together. Note that all of these counterparts are purely vibes-based. Also note that this team would assuredly be terrible in-game. Either way, let’s get started!Garrett Crochet – PigniteThis pairing was really the genesis for this entire piece, as while I was racking my brain trying to figure out…
Welcome to the Friday Five! Each week during the NFL regular season, I will drop five Patriots-related thoughts on Friday to recap the week that was in Foxboro and look ahead to kickoff. Ready, set, football. 1. Trade deadline wish list The NFL trade deadline is less than three weeks away. Most years, all the trade speculation inside and outside of team headquarters leads to little action. But where’s the fun in that? Odds are the Patriots will be 6-3 or 7-2 heading into the deadline, meaning they will be in a strong position to add to a likely playoff…
