The 2025-26 season will look very different for the Boston Celtics after trading away key players and losing star forward Jayson Tatum to a torn Achilles.<\/p>\n
During a recent live stream, Celtics star guard Jaylen Brown acknowledged that the team is facing a new beginning following the major changes this offseason.<\/p>\n
“It feels like a new era,” Brown said. “Half the team is gone. I wish them the best. I appreciate them. They were great teammates, so it’s kind of sad to see them go. It’s a new era, everything has kind of changed and shifted.”<\/p>\n
And to top it all off, Brown added, “JT got braids, I don’t know what the hell is going on.”<\/p>\n
Tatum has a lot of time on his hands to play with his hairstyle after suffering a torn Achilles in the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the New York Knicks. He will likely miss the entire 2025-26 season, leaving Brown as the focal point of the Celtics offense.<\/p>\n
Boston also unloaded veteran point guard Jrue Holiday and big man Kristaps Porzingis in trades, and the team lost longtime center Al Horford to free agency.<\/p>\n
The Celtics won’t be facing high expectations this season, but Brown will certainly do his best to ensure that the team remains in playoff contention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2025-26 season will look very different for the Boston Celtics after trading away key players and losing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159256,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,590,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-159255","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
