Torrey Craig is open to returning to Boston Celtics if opportunity is there
Torrey Craig is open to returning to Boston Celtics if opportunity is there After coming over after being waived during the season by the Chicago Bulls, veteran forward Torrey Craig is looking to return to the Boston Celtics for the 2025-26 season. Appearing in just nine games for the Chicago Bulls this past season, Craig was signed by Boston in February and while he didn't offer up a ton of production, he was a quality three-and-d contributor off the bench for head coach Joe Mazzulla. Facing potential changes coming to the roster in wake of the Jayson Tatum's torn Achilles injury, the 34-year old Craig has expressed interest in returning to Boston for next season. Shortly after they were eliminated by the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Craig spoke with and said he'd like to be back if the interest is mutual, and feels that the team can still contend even with the Tatum injury. "I love everything about Boston,' Craig said. 'If it was available, then I would see myself coming back. Just being around the guys that previously won the championship – just seeing how they operate, how together they were, just being a part of the Celtic culture. That was a cool experience for me." (H/T Although he only averaged just over 2 points and 2 rebounds per game in 17 games played with Boston, Craig is a respected veteran presence on the team and would bring more bench stability next season. If the Celtics have to change up their starting lineup in a major way, keeping as much of the bench together as possible could be another key to staying a contender.

Timothée Chalamet 'Mauled' By Fans After Knicks Take Down Celtics At MSG
got swarmed by fans on Thursday night, and no, it wasn't for a movie premiere. The 'Dune' star found himself in the middle of some serious NYC chaos after the Knicks pulled off a jaw-dropping 119-81 win over the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The electric victory sent the team to its first Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years, and fans took to the streets in droves to celebrate. Caught in the madness? Timothée Chalamet himself. In a now-viral clip making the rounds on social media, the Oscar nominee was seen leaning out the window of his car, beaming with excitement, when he was suddenly grabbed by a fan in what looked like a mix between a hug and a headlock. 'Timothée Chalamet getting mauled by Knicks fans,' one fan captioned the video. But that didn't stop him from soaking in the moment. The actor looked just as hyped as the rest of NYC, and even got in on the celebration, flashing a smile as he embraced the wild energy around him. Chalamet wasn't the only celeb courtside at Madison Square Garden. He was spotted sitting next to , while and girlfriend , who, by the way, are now living together, were also seen cheesing for the cameras. Other A-listers in attendance included , Jon Stewart, , and the always-animated . Off the court, Chalamet's love life is making just as many headlines. After months of speculation, Timothée and finally confirmed their romance with a stunning red-carpet debut, not at the Met Gala as many predicted, but just two days later at a photocall in Rome for the 70th David Di Donatello Awards at Cinecittà Studios on May 7. Dressed in coordinating black ensembles, the duo looked effortlessly chic and totally smitten. The two then attended Coachella, which is when a source told PEOPLE that the couple is 'very serious.' "They are making it work," the insider shared of their busy schedules. "Kylie is truly his biggest fan. She would clear her schedule to attend awards and premieres with him. She couldn't be more supportive of his career." Earlier this month, insiders revealed that Chalamet and Jenner are still going strong nearly two years into their relationship, and that part of their success comes down to one thing. Privacy. A source told Daily Mail that the couple has made a conscious effort to keep their romance away from the cameras, especially when it comes to Jenner's reality TV empire. 'Timothée has drawn a firm line when it comes to Jenner's reality TV world,' the insider said. But just because they're keeping things private doesn't mean it's not serious. In fact, The Blast reported back in March that Chalamet allegedly dropped $300,000 on a diamond ring, believed to be an engagement ring for Jenner. According to sources, the 'A Complete Unknown' star has been 'quietly planning his proposal for a couple of months,' reportedly browsing luxury jewelers in New York and Paris before selecting the perfect custom piece from a high-end Parisian designer. 'The ring, made by the Parisian designer, is incredibly special and will take six weeks to complete,' a source shared. 'He's ready to get engaged and envisions a long, happy future with Kylie.' Another insider added, 'I have never seen him so happy. He has been telling us for a while now how deeply in love he is.' The couple is also rumored to be eyeing luxury properties in Milan and Paris, fueling speculation that a major life step, or even a European relocation, could be on the horizon. From potential proposals to nearly getting tackled by Knicks fans, Timothée Chalamet is having one very memorable spring.

What do the cheapest tickets cost to see Knicks-Pacers game 6 in Indiana?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. No, you don't have déjà vu. Just like the Celtics winning game 5 after going down 3-1 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the New York Knicks have done the same against the Indiana Pacers. On Thursday, May 29, Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns kept the team's season alive with a commanding 111-94 victory over Indiana at MSG. Brunson dropped 32 points on 12-18 shooting from the field while Towns added 24 while nursing a left knee injury. 'It's a testament to our team answering the call,' Towns said. 'Our backs were against the wall,' Brunson added. 'So, I mean, we've got to give it everything we got.' The series resumes with game 6 at Indiana's Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday, May 31. As you may recall, the Celtics couldn't get anything going in game 6 and the Knicks ran away with a 119-81 blowout win on their home court. Tom Thibodeau's team hopes to avoid a similar fate and (fingers crossed) become the 14th team in NBA history to overcome the 3-1 deficit and advance to the Finals.

About Knicks-Pacers series In 2024, Haliburton and the Pacers came back from a 2-0 deficit to take down a hobbled Knicks club in seven games in the the Eastern Conference semifinals. One series later, they were swept by the mighty Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals. Soon after, the Knicks bolstered their roster and added Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. The pieces were finally in place for a deep playoff run. Over the course of the 2024-25 regular season, the new and improved Knicks met their rivals from Indy three times and took two of those contests. The Knicks finished the year with a 51-31 record, snagging the No. 3 seed, while the Pacers capped the season with 50 wins and the No. 4 draw. Following impressive series wins — the Knicks beat the fiery Pistons and dramatically took down the defending champion Celtics in the second round — fans finally got the heated rematch they had been dreaming of all year long. Unfortunately, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for New York thus far. Games 1 and 2 at the Garden were both heartbreaking in different ways. In the first contest, they squandered a commanding fourth-quarter lead. Brunson and co. couldn't capitalize in Game 2. On the road, the Knicks came alive in game 3 and overcame a double-digit hole to steal a win on Indianapolis' home court. However, game 4 was a return to disappointing form. Thibodeau's club did everything they could on Tuesday night but could not rally in the second half. Two nights later, New York came back to life and won 111-94 on their home court to bring the series back to Indiana.

Assessing the Boston Celtics top offseason priorities
Assessing the Boston Celtics top offseason priorities The NBA is expected to have a busy offseason. The free agency market projects to be weak, so most movement will likely come via trades. Despite winning a championship in 2024, the Boston Celtics are projected to be among the more active teams. Brad Stevens must figure out how to reduce the average age of the current roster while ducking under the second luxury tax apron. Boston's decision-making has been forced to change due to the Achilles tendon injury Jayson Tatum suffered against the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. As such, no one within the Celtics rotation can be considered untouchable, especially for the right price. Jim Jackson joined a recent episode of the "Rich Eisen Show" to discuss what the coming offseason could look like for the Celtics. Jackson also touched on the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is another team that was humbled by a second-round exit. Jackson and Eisen both hit on potential targets for each team and who will be atop of their priority lists. You can watch the full episode by clicking on the embedded video above.

Nick Wright's Club SUPERSTAR 4.0: Tyrese Haliburton joins NBA elite with monster Game 4
Tyrese Haliburton joined two prestigious clubs after his performance in the Indiana Pacers' 130-121 win over the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Firstly, his stat-line put him in the company of just two other NBA players who had achieved such numbers. Secondly, he earned admission into "Club SUPERSTAR," the exclusive 12-player group Fox Sports' Nick Wright decides upon each season. According to Wright, Haliburton is now peers with regular-season MVPs, NBA Finals MVPs, and perennial All-NBA first-team honorees. Along with the Pacers' leader, Wright's "Club SUPERSTAR" includes the best player on each of the other remaining playoff teams: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Brunson, and Anthony Edwards. Haliburton also sits among veterans who have ruled the NBA for the past decade-plus: LeBron James and Stephen Curry. "Club SUPERSTAR" also invited back two players who have each won multiple MVPs in the last seven years: Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo. First-team All-NBA winners Jayson Tatum and Donovan Mitchell are still a part of "Club SUPERSTAR" despite their teams exiting the 2025 postseason early. As is the newest Los Angeles Lakers star, Luka Doncic. Kevin Durant was the only player in "Club SUPERSTAR" whose team did not make the postseason, but his Phoenix Suns' teammate Devin Booker didn't get an invitation to the club for a second straight season. Rising stars Cade Cunningham, Victor Wembanyama and Alperen Sengun also just missed out on earning their first invitation, while Joel Embiid and Anthony Davis could not stay healthy in 2025 and lost the spots that held in 2024. It was Embiid and Davis who made way for Mitchell and Haliburton. Haliburton earned this distinguished achievement by consistently outperforming fellow invitees. He led the Indiana Pacers over Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in five games in the first round. He needed just five games, again, to take down Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. And now he sits one win away from beating Brunson and the New York Knicks to make his first NBA Finals appearance. "Tyrese Haliburton is the best player in this series," Chris Broussard said Wednesday on "First Things First", agreeing with host Nick Wright's opinion. "This dude is something special." Haliburton made his entry into "Club SUPERSTAR" undeniable with his Game 4 stat-line of 32 points, 15 assists, 12 rebounds, without committing a single turnover. While "Club SUPERSTAR" includes 11 players other than Haliburton, only two have achieved the stat-line he posted on Tuesday: Nikola Jokic and James Harden. The two former NBA MVPs, and Haliburton, are the only three players to post a 30-15-and-10 game with 0 turnovers, but Haliburton's the only one to do it in the postseason. He and the Pacers will look to close out the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
