One of the Boston Celtics’ newest additions to their roster Hugo González has not impressed NBA insider John Hollinger in his Summer League games with the organization.

Going into next season, Boston doesn’t exactly have any hopes of contending for a title. With Jayson Tatum set to miss the entire year, the Celtics can essentially start looking toward the 2026-27 season while still hoping to make the playoffs next season.

Now that summer league is concluding and the NBA officially begins its dark period, the stars from Las Vegas must be acknowledged because some unexpected players made big splashes.

Both squads played with makeshift rosters in their final Summer League contest, and the Celtics definitely looked like the more invested team throughout all four quarters. Boston already owned a 27-20 lead after one, which was also the only quarter where Atlanta was ahead, albeit by a mere two points.

A new roster shake-up could be brewing in Boston as the Celtics are linked to a proven All-Star looking for a fresh start.

After starting the week by trading away two key members of their 2024 championship team, the Boston Celtics ended up drafting three players and making a trade over the two-day NBA Draft.

LAS VEGAS — A balanced effort on both ends of the floor and sharp offensive performances from Jordan Walsh and Charles Bassey powered the Boston Celtics to a 92-78 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in an NBA 2K26 Summer League battle at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas on Friday afternoon.

NBA insider Zach Lowe shared his extensive tier list of teams in the Eastern Conference. While the Magic have risen in stature, teams like the Heat and the Celtics might have been underestimated.
