Boston Celtics alum, broadcaster Brian Scalabrine added to national NBC, Peacock coverage
"There might be minor overlaps here and there where I have a national assignment on the night of a Celtics game, but NBC is going to do their best not to affect much if anything locally," said Scalabrine via Finn, who noted that fellow Celtics alum and broadcaster Eddie House would likely fill on one at least some of those dates.
"From my understanding, that's what it looks like," added Scal. "I would never leave for ESPN, but the fact that it's NBC is a massive, massive plus for me. I have a lot of respect for the way that NBC Sports Boston treats me, and I'm loving the stuff that they're talking about doing at the big network, so I'm just really excited about the whole opportunity."

Boston Celtics jersey history No. 28 - Sam Cassell (2008)
The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the eighth of 14 people to wear the No. 28, Boston guard alum (and current assistant coach) Sam Cassell. After ending his college career at Florida State, Cassell was picked up with the 24th overall selection of the 1993 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets. The Baltimore, Maryland native also played for the Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Los Angeles Clippers before signing with Boston for the final 17 games of his NBA career as a player in 2008, helping to win his final of three titles won as a player. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Cassell wore only jersey No. 28 and put up 7.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Best of star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown in 2024-25
Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown is heading into his tenth season in the NBA, a true vet at the height of his prime years in the league poised to take over the reigns of his team while costar on the wing Jayson Tatum recovers from a torn Achilles tendon But the Georgia native had himself a very good campaign in the 2024-25 season as well, even if it ended in a way he and most fans of the team would rather forget. Last season, Brown put up 22 points, 5.8 rebounds, a career-high 4.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 46.3% from the field overall, 32.4% from beyond the arc, and 76.4% from the free throw line while securing an All-Star bid for the fourth time of his career to date. The folks behind the "Boston Celtics" official YouTube channel put together a clip of the best of Brown's play from the 2024-25 season. Check it out below for yourself!
