The Celtics will lose Tatum's prolific production of 25.0 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in their semifinals matchup against the Knicks. The team, however, has enough depth to fill in the gaps with Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, Payton Pritchard and Al Horford.

During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Lucas wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 1.0 points and 1.0 assists per game.

The Boston Celtics haven't sent any internal signals about trimming their payroll in future seasons, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

The Boston Celtics will still be coming to terms with the fact that Jayson Tatum will be out of the rotation for the foreseeable future. The All-NBA forward suffered a torn Achilles tendon due to a non-contact injury on May 12. Tatum has already undergone surgery and is staring at a long road to recovery.

With Jayson Tatum likely to miss next season due to injury, there is more talk than ever about the Celtics potentially cutting payroll costs.

With the Celtics facing elimination, Jaylen Brown delivers a strong and timely message to his team ahead of a must-win Game 5.

On this day, the Boston Celtics won their 14th championship, beating the Houston Rockets in Game 6 of the 1981 NBA Finals.

The Boston Celtics could get eliminated by the New York Knicks on Wednesday as they trail 3-1 in the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs. In Game 4, the defending champions suffered a significant blow to their roster after All-Star forward Jayson Tatum suffered a non-contact injury.
