So get ready, because there are only two-and-a-half weeks until we can start over-evaluating young prospects, throwing around hot takes, and most importantly, cheering for some Celtics basketball again. Last season, the Celtics made it to the finals of the Summer League tournament before losing against the Sacramento Kings, who were led by impressive rookie Davion Mitchell, although none of the Boston roster made much noise once the regular season rolled around.įurthermore, as CelticsBlog’s Keith Smith reported, these opening four games are the precursor to the Summer League tournament and will give us an opportunity to see some potential two-way players earning their spot, or, guys like Hauser looking to prove they’re ready to take the next step in their development. Boston is now officially in contention mode, and outside of Sam Hauser and possibly Aaron Nesmith, our focus will likely be on the development of Yam Madar and Juhann Begarin who both continued their development in France and Serbia respectively. Of all the teams Boston will face, the Grizzlies are the most intriguing - they’ve created a successful roster via the draft, and will have a plethora of young talent looking to prove they’re worthy of a rotation spot next season.įrom a Celtics perspective, this Summer League season won’t hold as much weight as previous years. Then, the Celtics will round out their opening four games by facing off against the Memphis Grizzlies on July 14. The set schedule begins with a July 9 contest against the Miami Heat and is followed by a back-to-back against the Milwaukee Bucks, and yes, you guessed it, the Golden State Warriors. Tournament play starts after the set schedule.- Keith Smith June 20, 2022 Thursday July 14 vs Grizzlies - 3:30 PM ET - NBATV Tuesday July 12 vs Warriors - 8:00 PM ET - ESPN2 Monday July 11 - vs Bucks - 8:00 PM ET - NBATV Saturday July 9 - vs Heat - 5:30 PM ET - NBATV
