Payton Pritchard shows off new themed sneakers before Clippers game

Celtic rookie point guard Payton Pritchard showed off some special kicks ahead of his return to action against the Clippers.

Boston Celtics rookie point guard Payton Pritchard shared a picture of some new, University of Oregon themed sneakers he plans to wear for tonight’s road contest with the Los Angeles Clippers, and we have to say they look pretty sharp.

Pritchard has been out injured with a sprained knee since the Celtics played the Philadelphia 76ers on Jan. 22 after teammate Jaylen Brown fell into his leg on a play early in the game. Now, it is Brown who will be out with a sore knee, with the Oregon product returning just in time to bolster a thin wing compounded from veteran guard Marcus Smart being out with a leg injury of his own — a torn calf sustained against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Check the kicks out for yourself in the tweet by Pritchard above, they certainly won’t make finding him on the court any harder.
