Boston Celtics Receive Significant Trade Update
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Boston Celtics have had a very busy offseason, but not in the way that would make fans happy. The Celtics have actually engaged in a firesale, trading away Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday as well as allowing some key pieces — including Al Horford — to walk via free agency. Boston's salary shedding was expected given how deep the Celtics were into the second apron, and with Jayson Tatum sidelined for all of next season due to a torn Achilles, Boston's decision to blow things up and retool definitely made sense. It's also possible the C's aren't done. More news: Insider Drops Jarring Contract Update for Al Horford, Warriors NBA insider Jake Fischer has revealed that there is still a chance that the Celtics move guard Anfernee Simons, whom the team acquired in the trade that sent Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this offseason. "The Celtics, to my understanding, are going to continue to look for salary-shedding opportunities, and they are going to continue to listen to incoming trade calls for Anfernee Simons," Fischer said. President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens of the Boston Celtics addresses the media during Boston Celtics Media Day at The Auerbach Center on October 2, 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Photo bySimons is entering the final year of his contract and is slated to earn $27.7 million during the 2025-26 campaign. "That's not to sit here and say that Anfernee Simons is definitely going to get traded ... but we're still expecting there to be a possibility of Anfernee Simons being traded, as well." Fischer added that the Celtics may wait and see how well Simons plays this coming season and how the team fares in the Eastern Conference before making any decisions. More news: New Boston Celtics Owner Issues Tough Challenge to Joe Mazzulla Simons played in 70 games last season, averaging 19.3 points and 4.8 assists over 32.7 minutes a night on 42.6/36.3/90.2 shooting splits. His efficiency certainly leaves something to be desired, but his ability as a microwave scorer is inherently valuable, and it's important to note that he posted over 20 points per game in back-to-back campaigns in 2022-23 and 2023-24. The 26-year-old's hefty salary for next season makes him a rather difficult trade candidate, so Boston may wish to hold onto him and determine whether or not he can potentially be a part of its long-term future.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum speaks on Achilles rehab for the first time
Fans of the Boston Celtics have heard very little from star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum since he went down with a torn Achilles tendon in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series vs. the New York Knicks. And given the difficulty of the rehab process for such an injury, it is not hard to imagine why the St. Louis native has kept a low profile since. But this week, in a social media post (via Celtics Blog's Noa Dalzell), Tatum opened up about his injury, how he has been dealing with it, and what comes next for the Duke alum. "Rehab is tedious, man — six days a week. It's starting to get a little bit better now, I'm out the boot now," said Tatum. "Better days ahead, but just trying to take it one day at a time," added the recovering Celtics star. "That first six weeks of this, was probably the toughest six weeks of any point in my life." "You have got to be resilient," suggested Tatum in the clip. "(Those) first six weeks of this were probably the toughest six weeks of any point in my life." "I have just had to accept it and realize it happened, and now I have got to do everything in my power to get back to who I was." Listen to "Havlicek Stole the Pod" on: Spotify: iTunes: YouTube:

Patrick Mahomes, other stars react to Scottie Scheffler's insane chip-in at BMW Championship
The post Patrick Mahomes, other stars react to Scottie Scheffler's insane chip-in at BMW Championship appeared first on ClutchPoints. The FedEx Cup Playoffs head into the final event after Scottie Scheffler won the BMW Championship. He secured his fifth win of the season thanks to an insane chip-in on the 17th hole. Even though he was likely going to take the title anyway, the birdie helped him pull away. Stars like Patrick Mahomes and Josh Hart reacted to Scheffler's inevitability after another great win. 'Scottie is crazy man,' Mahomes said, followed by a bunch of laughing emojis. That is the reaction that most golf fans and fellow professionals have when watching Scheffler. They can't help but laugh at how easy he makes the sport look. 'That was insane Scottie Scheffler,' Knicks' star Josh Hart posted. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr went with, 'Scottie is something else! Insane talent.' Kiper still has it when it comes to evaluating talent. His colleague Mike Greenberg said, 'You can't be serious. #Scheffler.' Scheffler won the BMW Championship without his normal caddie, as Ted Scott was tending to a family matter. But Michael Cromie helped guide him to victory, marking his 18th career win. The Tour Championship is next week at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia. Even though he won't get the starting strokes he got last year, Scheffler can become the first player to repeat as the Tour Championship winner. While the PGA Tour season ends next week, Scheffler has one big event left on his calendar. He has already clinched a spot on USA's Ryder Cup team, which is looking to avenge a brutal loss in 2023. The lowlight of that week in Rome was Scheffler and Brooks Koepka losing on the 12th hole in foursomes. Playing some of the best golf in recent memory, he is riding a hot hand with the Ryder Cup just over a month away. The Tour Championship begins on Thursday.
