In Sunday’s preseason game between the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers, guard Payton Pritchard delivered a standout performance with 26 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds. Pritchard’s confident play and scoring ability showcased his potential as a valuable reserve guard for the Celtics.
Star big man Kristaps Porzingis, in his debut as a Celtic, impressed with his versatility and comfort on the court, making a significant impact even in limited minutes. He contributed with 17 points, key blocks, and crucial plays. While All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum had an off-shooting night, he demonstrated his willingness to adapt to a more team-oriented approach, focusing on rebounds and assists. All-NBA wing Jaylen Brown also performed well with 19 points, primarily in transition.
