How does Payton Pritchard feel about the Celtics' busy offseason?
Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard is in a stable place at the moment. He's on a relatively cheap contract and cemented how valuable he is to the C's after winning Sixth Man of the Year last season. And while the 27-year-old stayed put this offseason, that wasn't the case for many of his teammates. Celtics starters Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis were traded away this summer, while backup center Luke Kornet walked in free agency. Veteran big man Al Horford is also expected to leave the C's in the coming weeks, casting plenty of uncertainty around Pritchard and company for the 2025-26 season. In spite of this, the sixth-year Celtic didn't sound too worried during a conversation with NBC Sports Boston's Chris Forsberg. He discussed the recent roster changes, a new NBA rule that he helped create, and more on the Celtics Talk Podcast.
