Payton Pritchard confident after Celtics' contract extension

Payton Pritchard expressed confidence in his future with the Boston Celtics following a two-year, $44.2 million contract extension. After a challenging start to his career and a trade request, Pritchard has developed into a pivotal player, winning the Sixth Man of the Year award last season. He averaged 17.0 points in the previous season and aims to continue his growth, regardless of whether he comes off the bench or starts. Pritchard emphasized the importance of his impact on the game over individual accolades. The Celtics have also made significant roster changes this offseason, including trading Jaylen Brown for Paul George.
