Who are the biggest betrayers in Boston Celtics history?
Most ardent fans of the team know exactly who we are referencing in the latter example, and likely have at least one name in mind for the former one. Players like Boston heel par excellence Kyrie Irving and Hall of Fame Celtics shooting guard Ray Allen stand out (at least for a while) as some of the more notable examples of Boston NBA sports villains. Which one stands alone in that regard, and what other names from other sports populate the list of former allies turned foes for the local faithful?
The folks behind the "NESN" YouTube channel put together a clip taking a closer look at the usual suspects. Check it out below!

Which players hurt or helped their stock with the Celtics in Las Vegas Summer League?
Which players hurt or helped their stock playing for the Boston Celtics in the NBA's 2025 Las Vegas Summer League? The Sin City Celtics were an interesting mix of players already on Boston's regular roster (Baylor Scheierman and Jordan Walsh), the three incoming rookies that the Celtics took in the 2025 NBA draft (Amari Williams, Max Shulga, and of course Hugo Gonzalez), a player fighting for his spot from last season as a Boston two way player (Miles Norris), and a number of prospects looking to latch on with the Maine Celtics or to use the exposure to land a gig elsewhere. Which of them played their way into the role they were seeking, or further confirmed that they belong where they already are? Which of them hurt their chances of securing the basketball future they were aiming for, with the Celtics or otherwise? The hosts of the CLNS Media "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

Former Alabama basketball guard reportedly waived by NBA team
According to an announcement by the organization Thursday afternoon, the Boston Celtics have reportedly waived former Alabama Crimson Tide guard JD Davison.

Over those three seasons, Davison appeared in a combined 36 games with the Celtics, averaging only 5.5 minutes per contest. Davison also averaged a combined 1.9 points per game on 38.5% shooting from the field, as well as 28.1% from three and 69.2% at the free throw line. The former Alabama guard is also coming off a career-year where he was named the 2024-25 NBA G League MVP. Playing with the Maine Celtics, Davison averaged 25.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and 1.4 steals per game on 48.2% shooting from the field.

Will fans of the Boston Celtics boo Marcus Smart when he returns to play with the Lakers?
Will fans of the Boston Celtics boo Marcus Smart when he returns to Boston to play with the Los Angeles Lakers? The Flower Mound native seems to think that he will in a recent interview introducing him to the local Los Angeles media as a new member of next season's Lakers roster. But what Smart may not be counting on is the fact that fans of the Celtics are a wise bunch aware of the fact that it was never the Oklahoma State alum's choice to leave Boston in a trade chosen by the team's front office in order to bring big man Kristaps Porzingis to the team from the Washington Wizards back in the 2023 NBA offseason. There may very well be some boo birds in the house, but they could easily be from the stalwarts booing the Lakers as a team or the vocal minority that did not like Smart even when he was suiting up for the Celtics. The hosts of the CLNS Media "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!
