On August 21, the Boston Celtics noted two significant events in franchise history. In 2018, PJ Dozier signed a two-way contract with the team, coming off a season with the Maine Red Claws. In 2020, Boston secured a 102-94 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 3 of the first round of the NBA playoffs, with Kemba Walker contributing 24 points and Jaylen Brown adding 21. Despite Joel Embiid's 30 points for the Sixers, the team could not prevent a series sweep.
