The good news for the Celtics: Jayson Tatum is back from Achilles surgery after nearly 10 months off. The not-so-good news: Boston now will be without its other major midseason addition for the foreseeable future. Before Tatum even registered his first point in Friday’s 120-100 win over the Dallas Mavericks, center Nikola Vucevic fractured the ring finger on his right hand.

ANDOVER — It’s a great luxury for Andover boys basketball coach Dave Fazio to look at his backcourt and know that when the Golden Warriors need points, they are likely coming. On Friday, inside a sold-out Dunn Gymnasium, Charlie Tutwiler and Josh Roux carried Andover when it needed it most. No. 10 Xaverian pushed the second seed for three quarters before Roux and Tutwiler put the Golden Warriors on their backs and carried them to a 56-42 win and a spot in the D1 Final Four against Bishop Feehan, a 65-60 double overtime winner against Bridgewater-Raynham. “In my humble opinion,…

Tatum spoke up in a team meeting on Thursday, sharing a message of gratitude and appreciation that resonated with head coach Joe Mazzulla. “He talked a little bit, and just the way that he talked to his teammates, about his teammates, I just think he came on the other side of (his injury) a better person,” Mazzulla said after Tatum played his first 27 minutes of the season in a 120-100 victory over the Dallas…
Do you know the last time the Red Sox finished a season without a single player hitting at least 20 home runs? If we’re not counting 2020 — which we shouldn’t, pretty much ever, for pretty much anything — then the answer is a loooooong time ago: 1945, to be exact. But, frankly, we shouldn’t even count the World War II years, either. Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio and the rest of the actual Red Sox were fighting overseas, leaving the lineup to be filled with 34-year-old infielders named Skeeter. Everyone knows that it’s impossible to be a power…
Celtics fans usually reserve their boos and let them rain down with a fury when an opponent’s starting lineup is introduced at TD Garden. On Friday night, they made an exception for Cooper Flagg. Flagg, the 19-year-old Maine native who grew up rooting for the Celtics and was taken No. 1 overall by the Mavericks in last year’s NBA draft, received a loud eruption of cheers from the Boston faithful when his name was called out prior to his first professional game on the famed parquet. It was a homecoming for Flagg, who had plenty of family and friends make…
