The Boston Celtics will have more playing time for younger players next season

USA Today04-07-2025
The Boston Celtics have not had much in the way of playing time when it comes to their younger players given their status as contenders. But as Boston takes a step back to duck under the the NBA's dreaded second apron and all the team building barriers created by it in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA), there are fewer star players and veterans eating up the playing time.
As a result of this unusual -- at least for the Celtics -- state of affairs, the team's incoming rookie class and younger players, who will get more of a chance to spread their wings and show what they can do when their number is called.
The hosts of the CLNS Media "Garden Report" podcast, Bobby Manning and Noa Dalzell, broke down how the team's youth movement will have a lot more playing time in the season to come. Check it out below!

Best of Jayson Tatum with the Boston Celtics in 2024-25

We may not get to see star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum on a basketball court for his team again until the start of the NBA's 2026-27 regular season. The St. Louis native tore his Achilles tendon playing the New York Knicks in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series that would Boston's last in the 2025 NBA Playoffs. Fans of Tatum and the Celtics will likely grow restless waiting for his return to the team, but the folks behind the official Celtics YouTube channel put together a clip of the best of the Duke alum's plays from the 2024-25 season to keep us all occupied while we wait for Tatum to get back to being himself. We might have a shot at seeing him back late in 2025-26, but in the likely case he elects to wait until the following season to return to the court, check out the clip embedded below for your Taco Jay fix in the meantime.
