On the 15th day of NBA-mandated self-quarantine, the Boston Celtics continue to use social media as a means of staying connected.
And our series documenting their strategies for keeping busy via social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok and other platforms continues with them as they share their unique ways of keeping themselves occupied, fit, and in touch with their fans.
Question and answer sessions have proven a popular approach for several Celtics so far since the Mar. 11 coronavirus shutdown began, and today, third year All-Star forward Jayson Tatum dipped his toe in that particular pool of fans.
He had a lot of thoughtful questions and interesting responses to them, but the jokes really made the exchange worth following:

He also scratched the basketball itch we’re all having these days with a little dive into some highlight clips.

Center Enes Kanter has been having a bit of a rough time isolated due to his ever-gregarious nature…

…but he gets by with a little help from his friends.
The @NBA is a brotherhood

And like Tatum, folks out there are missing basketball and using clips of players to fill that basketball-sized hole.
The folks running the NBA’s account for Kanter’s native Turkey shared a clip of the Boston big man, which didn’t escape the oft-outspoken center.

Semi has been working out intensely — to the surprise of no one.
And Timelord has been spending, well, time on a popular streaming series it’s easy to get lost in.
Been watching Ozark for hours

Rookie Carsen Edwards waxed a bit nostalgic in the same mode as Kanter, retweeting a clip shared of his days with Purdue.

And center Vincent Poirier did the same of some impressive flushes making the Twitter rounds.

Forward Grant Williams followed suit with a clip from his time with the Vols…
The #VFL and the rookie.
Way back before the season even started, @JordanBone23 and @jjjames30 got together to exchange insights.

Which of course team president Danny Ainge couldn’t resist cracking a…joke?
We’re really not sure, even if the support is obvious for his defensive-minded friend.
Looking at least 6’5” 😱☘️💪🏼 https://t.co/LSBFNkaKr7
