While the Boston Celtics are no longer in title contention, there are still Celtics alumni in the running for a ring in the 2021 NBA Playoffs. But, the field of former Boston players still playing ball just took a hit with the elimination of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Old friends Rajan Rondo and Marcus Morris Sr. won’t be picking up a ring this year, but four former Celtics on two of the three remaining teams could still earn themselves the league’s most important hardware. With no Boston alumni on the Atlanta Hawks, that means if a former Celtic is going to help hand a banner this season, it’ll be with either the Milwaukee Bucks or the Phoenix Suns.
Let’s take a look at which Boston alumni might be celebrating at the end of July.
