Boston Celtics assess potential outcomes for 2026-27 NBA season
Summary

The Boston Celtics are preparing for the 2026-27 NBA season with significant roster changes after a 56-26 finish last season. Jayson Tatum's health will be crucial following his injury struggles, while the team traded Jaylen Brown for Paul George and added new players like Neemias Queta and Mitchell Robinson. The Celtics aim for a return to championship contention, depending heavily on Tatum's performance and contributions from new acquisitions. Their best-case scenario projects a 59-23 record and a second seed in the Eastern Conference if Tatum can return to form.
