Payton Pritchard discusses future with Celtics after Jaylen Brown trade

Payton Pritchard remains focused on improving his game amid changes for the Boston Celtics. Following Jaylen Brown's trade to the Philadelphia 76ers, Pritchard, who is eligible for an extension in October, is not rushing into discussions. He aims to concentrate on enhancing his skills and adapting to the team’s new dynamics while acknowledging the emotional impact of losing Brown, with whom he won a championship. Conversations about a contract extension are expected to occur later, as he has two years remaining on his current deal.
