Quentin Grimes practiced yesterday but did not practice today due to left foot soreness. He’s in a walking book, which is viewed by NYK as a precaution. Ailment is currently seen as minor. Credit to social media sleuths (@kunal____, I think?) for seeing practice photo of Grimes. – 5:05 PM

In regards to the Deandre Ayton and Monty Williams not talking since Game 7, Devin Booker said he didn’t talk to coach much over the summer and thinks it’s fine for guys to get away from each other over the break. Doesn’t see it being a potential distraction pic.twitter.com/XLNyt8p0Ya – 4:51 PM

With continuity for the players, Monty Williams said the understanding from the system players is so high that they can suggest tweaks on the fly and can help run practice. Devin Booker had one with a sideline out of bounds play today because he knows everything to look for. – 4:08 PM

Still stunned and in the dark about the Ime Udoka matter? So are some former Celtics.
(As we learned at Media Day, the current C’s are, too.)
Also, a corporate PR person who deals with crisis management says the club is doing things by the book.
