On the tenth day since the NBA mandated teams self-quarantine in light of the coronavirus pandemic suspending league activities, Boston Celtics players continued to use social media to stay in touch with fans and keep themselves entertained.
Some let their guard down to fans and revealed a lot of their thoughts on interesting issues, while others joked and waxed nostalgic for the season now collecting dust.
Others kept their focus on advocating for people to take precautions with the pandemic, some even expressing concern for those being pressured to work in potentially unsafe conditions.
However they engaged with social media, the Quarantine Celtics continue to use it as a tool to stay together in this time of apartness — and that’s a blessing to so many right now.
Forward Grant Williams hosted an extensive Q&A session on Twitter…

While veteran forward Gordon Hayward is making sure to get in some exercise with his family:
…but is also advocating for his peers overseas in leagues perhaps not making the best decisions for public health.
Whatever you are doing to weather the storm that is this pandemic, please continue to follow expert advice, stay away from large crowds, stay home if you can and most important of all…
Be well.
