The Boston Celtics made significant moves to strengthen their roster, acquiring guard Malcolm Brogdon in a trade from Indiana and signing sharpshooting forward Danilo Gallinari as a free agent. However, their plans were hit with a setback as Gallinari suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, ruling him out for the upcoming season. Additionally, center Robert Williams, a vital part of the Celtics’ defense, is battling knee soreness and is expected to miss the start of the season.
Amidst these challenges, the Celtics were linked to speculation about a potential trade for Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant. Although talks didn’t materialize, it raised questions about the team’s commitment to young star Jaylen Brown.
This comes as the NBA dealt with another major issue, with commissioner Adam Silver suspending Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver for one year and fining him $10 million due to a pattern of disturbing workplace conduct.
On the coaching front, former Celtics assistant Joe Mazzulla, who previously coached at Division II’s Fairmont State in West Virginia, has joined the team as an assistant coach. His hiring adds depth to Coach Udoka’s staff as the Celtics prepare for their season opener against long-time rival Philadelphia, kicking off a year-long tribute to Hall of Famer Bill Russell.
