Must-see Boston Celtics games on the 2025-26 NBA schedule
The Boston Celtics are going to look a lot different during the 2025-26 season, but there will be plenty of intrigue around the team as it navigates a season without Jayson Tatum. Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and company now know when they'll be playing, with the NBA releasing its full schedule Thursday afternoon. The expectations are a bit low for Boston, with Tatum likely sidelined for the season and Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis traded away to get the payroll under the NBA's second apron. But the Celtics are still going to be must-see TV for local hoop fans. Brown will be out to prove he can be a team's Alpha, White will continue to do a lot of everything, and Joe Mazzulla is going to have to get creative to squeeze the most out of a suddenly talent-lacking Boston roster. Here are the games we are circling on Boston's 2025-26 schedule. The Celtics will tip off their 2025-26 season at TD Garden with a clash against the Philadelphia 76ers on October 22nd. Boston has won three straight openers, with the last two coming against the New York Knicks. The Celtics beat the 76ers in Boston to tip off the 2022-23 season. The Celtics won't have to wait long to try and get some revenge against the Knicks, who sent them packing in the second round last postseason. Boston will visit the Knicks for their second game of the season on Oct. 24, which will be the first NBA game to air on Amazon Prime. Boston fans will get to voice their disdain for the Knickerbockers at TD Garden on Dec 2nd, which will be an 8 p.m. tipoff on NBC. The Knicks will be back in Boston on Feb. 8th for a Sunday afternoon clash on ABC, and the two teams will wrap up the regular-season series on April 9 at Madison Square Garden. The Celtics said goodbye to a handful of key members of the 2024 championship team in the offseason, all of whom will likely have a nice video tribute waiting for them when they return to TD Garden. The first return will be by lovable big man Luke Kornet, who will now back up Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio. Kornet and the Spurs will come to TD Garden on Jan. 10 for a Saturday night showdown. Expect a good amount of barking from -- and toward -- Kornet, who was a fan favorite in Boston. Next up will be Jrue Holiday's return with the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran point guard and MVP in the community will be back in Boston on Monday, Jan. 26. Two nights later, on Jan. 28, Kristaps Porzingis will be introduced at TD Garden as a member of the Atlanta Hawks. The Unicorn will also be back in Boston on March 27. Veteran Al Horford remains a free agent. But if he ends up signing with the Golden State Warriors, he'll be back at TD Garden along with Steph Curry and Draymond Green on March 18. And if you were one of the few Celtics fans who liked local guy Georges Niang, who was on the Celtics for a few weeks this offseason, he'll be "back" with the Utah Jazz on Nov. 3. Keep an eye on him that night, since Niang on the visitor's bench is always a bit dangerous for Celtics players. Wanna see those teams you love to hate? On that front, it starts with the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron and the new slimmed-down Luka Doncic will come to town on Friday night, Dec. 5. The Celtics will play the Lakers in Los Angeles on Sunday evening, Feb. 22. In the East, we've already touched on Boston's matchups with the Knicks. Elsewhere on the rivalry front, the Celtics will play the Heat in Miami on Jan. 15, welcome Miami in to Boston on Feb. 6, and then wrap up the regular-season series back in South Beach on April 1. And if Philly can get its act straight, they'll be a rival again. After their opening night tilt, the Celtics and 76ers will also match up on Halloween night and on Nov. 11 in Philadelphia, and then back in Boston on March 1. The Celtics are in Group B in the East in this year's NBA Cup, where they'll play the 76ers, Orlando Magic, Brooklyn Nets, and Detroit Pistons. Here's their slate of NBA Cup games: Oct. 31: Celtics at 76ers, 7pm (Amazon Prime)Nov. 7: Celtics at Magic, 7pmNov. 21: Nets at Celtics, 7:30pmNov. 26: Pistons at Celtics, 5pm (ESPN) The Magic and the Pistons will both be formidable foes again this year. Boston didn't make it out of Group Play last season despite going 3-1 because of tiebreakers, and were eliminated in the knockout round two years ago. If the Celtics can advance this year and get out of the knockout round, the NBA Cup semifinals and championship game will be held in Las Vegas on Dec. 13 and 16, respectively. The top overall pick and Maine native will play his first NBA game at TD Garden on Friday night, March 6 on ESPN when the Dallas Mavericks come to town. While the Celtics aren't going to be the powerhouse they've been over the last few years, the team will still play 25 games on national TV in the upcoming season. Including their Oct. 24 showdown with the Knicks, the Celtics will play seven games on Amazon Prime in the upcoming season. They'll also be featured six times on ESPN, six times on NBC, four times on Peacock, and make two appearances on ABC.

Five legends, one page: How Patrick Ryan secured a sports memorabilia masterpiece
Getting an autograph from just one of sports' 'GOATs' is a challenge. Now imagine securing signatures from Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky and Lionel Messi – and to make it more impressive, getting them all to sign the same item. Then imagine doing it in just one year. That's exactly what super collector Patrick Ryan pulled off, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that spans a century of sports greatness. On June 29, 2024, Ryan claimed a nearly 100-year-old autograph album at auction, its prize possession a page signed by Ruth. That single purchase would spark an extraordinary quest – one that would produce one of the most remarkable pieces of sports memorabilia ever assembled. 'When I bought the Babe Ruth signed album page … it just looked kind of empty and it looked lonely,' Ryan told CNN Sports. That's when he realized he had an upcoming opportunity. Brady was scheduled to attend a Sotheby's and Fanatics sports card auction the following week. 'I said, you know what, maybe there's some ways to spruce up this Babe Ruth autograph,' Ryan said. A post shared by PSA (@psacard) Brady was the first modern legend to join Ruth's signature. Ryan brought the album page – and a gift – to the auction. 'It was a ticket to the 1981 NFC Championship game, which he famously attended to watch the Dwight Clark catch,' Ryan said. When Brady got up to leave, Ryan presented the ticket before asking for the favor. 'His eyes definitely lit up when he saw what I was having him sign.' From there, Ryan began plotting the rest. Gretzky's signature came next through mutual friends during the NHL Winter Classic in Chicago. A few months later, Messi signed during a private session with Icons, an autograph company. The final piece was Jordan. Ryan kept details private but said, 'Michael has a lot of respect for … the other guys that are on this piece of paper, and I think that's what motivated him to want to make sure it got done.' Remarkably, Ryan secured all five autographs within a year. When it came time to share the finished 'GOAT' page with the world, Ryan knew he wanted Brady to be the one to reveal it. Brady had been the first living legend to sign the page after Ruth, and his connection to the memorabilia world through his investment in trading card stores made him the perfect choice. The reveal took place at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago. Standing face-to-face with the seven-time Super Bowl champion, Ryan handed him the slabbed album page without explanation. Brady turned it over, took in the sight of all five autographs, and his eyes widened. A smile broke across his face as he leaned in to study it more closely. A post shared by CardVault By Tom Brady (@cardvaultbytombrady) 'To me, the fact that Tom didn't know what I was showing him really was the icing on the cake because we got a really genuine reaction from him,' Ryan said. 'For him to react the way he did was definitely special.' The moment, captured on video, quickly approached a million views online. Now authenticated by sports memorabilia experts PSA and Beckett, the page features five autographs in distinct shades of blue ink: Jordan, Ruth, Brady, Gretzky and Messi. Ryan says the item is not for sale. 'Most of the autographs were gifted to me, so that would be inappropriate to sell it,' he said. Instead, he plans to eventually place it in a museum. 'I think it will live on in a museum whenever my time here passes … so I'll be able to enjoy it for a long, long time.' In the meantime, he's open to displaying it at events or locations meaningful to the athletes. 'A few museums have reached out. … I'm more than willing to have it on display where these athletes would want it,' Ryan said. Ryan has been a collector since age 7, when he sold baseball cards by the roadside. For him, this piece is more than just ink on paper. 'The fact that I've had so many people reach out … that's been really fun,' he said. 'The whole process has been very rewarding, but I'm always looking for what's next in my journey as a collector.' Still, having five of the greatest team-sport athletes in history on one page – and seeing Brady's stunned reaction to the completed piece – gave Ryan perspective. 'It's such a unique piece. … I'm becoming very focused on making sure other pieces in my collection are directionally in that way,' Ryan said.
