Did Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens hint at future plans for the storied ball club? With the Celtics staring down not only star forward Jayson Tatum being out for much or even all of next season with a torn Achilles tendon,

Celtics star Jayson Tatum suffered an Achilles injury in Game 5 of the team's second-round playoff series and will have a long offseason of recovery. Jaylen Brown signed a five-year, supermax extension with the franchise ahead of the 2023-24 season.

Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens provided an update on the meeting with Duke star phenom Cooper Flagg.

BOSTON — The Celtics have tough choices ahead of them after a stunning second-round loss to the Knicks last week. However, Brad Stevens was not ready to address Boston’s future just yet on Monday in a season-ending press conference at the Auerbach Center.

The Boston Celtics added context to Kristaps Porziņģis' limitations during the NBA playoffs as president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said Monday that Porziņģis battled "post-viral syndrome" throughout the final stretch of the season.

The Celtics, of course, lost star forward Jayson Tatum to an Achilles injury in Game 4, while Kristaps Porzingis was battling what Stevens called a “post-viral syndrome, which is just lingering effects of a long illness.” ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne also reported that Jaylen Brown finished the season with a partially torn right meniscus.

Simmons wondered whether the Celtics should ship Porzingis off to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for 27-year-old power forward John Collins, who is set to earn $26.6 million next season before becoming an unrestricted free agent. “John Collins was in one of my get-the-Celtics-under-the-second-apron trades,” Simmons said.
