Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown recently raised eyebrows by labeling the 2025-26 season as his “favorite.” However, his statement should come as no surprise to those who paid attention throughout the campaign. Brown called it his “favorite season” during a Twitch stream one day after the Celtics blew a 3-1 first-round series lead to the Philadelphia 76ers. He doubled down on his remarks during another stream on Wednesday night. “You got to see all of these guys, all of my teammates, grow,” Brown said. “I got to see them overcome adversity as a group, up close and personal. … Obviously,…

I had a feeling this game wasn’t going to go the Sox way before it even started. To be fair, that isn’t saying much— most games haven’t gone the Sox way this year! But I knew the vibes would be off as soon as this came across the timeline shortly before the game started:Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony are the two most important players on the Red Sox. As fun as the sweep in Detroit was, it’s going to be really hard for this team to build any sort of momentum without those two guys healthy playing to the best…
Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony has been put on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right wrist, the team announced Thursday before the start of a four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park.Anthony, 21, hurt his wrist during his first at-bat of Monday’s game at Detroit. He flew back to Boston to see the team’s hand specialist, Dr. Matthew Leibman.Interim manager Chad Tracy said there wasn’t enough progression for Anthony to avoid going on the IL.“Still sore,” Tracy said. “I think it’s more of a case of ‘How are we willing to play short-handed?’ We’ve…

For the first time in a decade, the Boston Celtics’ season is over before Mother’s Day. The Celtics’ first-round playoff exit at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers marked just the second time since 2016 that they haven’t advanced past Round 1. The other was in 2021 — Brad Stevens’ final year as head coach — when the first round was held in June due to the Covid-19 pandemic. That means Stevens is entering his longest offseason since taking over as president of basketball operations in the summer of 2021. And he has plenty of work to do. While the…

BOSTON (AP) — Make no mistake about it, Brad Stevens still expected to be watching the Celtics in the playoffs right now.“I’m pissed. I’d rather be playing New York tonight,” Boston’s president of basketball operations said Wednesday during his end of season news conference.Stevens’ bitterness is not just about the second-seeded Celtics losing to Philadelphia to mark the third time in the last four years that they have lost in the playoffs as the higher seed.It’s more about how a team that started the season with Jayson Tatum sidelined, and with such low outside expectations, overachieved to a point that Stevens and the front office were…
