Celtics' White House Visit for 2024 Championship

The Boston Celtics are set to visit the White House on November 21, 2024, to celebrate their NBA Championship victory, marking their first such visit since 2008. The visit will coincide with their game against the Washington Wizards in D.C. the following day, allowing the team to efficiently manage their schedule. The visit has been confirmed by the White House and team officials, although no official announcement has been made by the Celtics or White House yet. Historically, NBA teams did not visit the White House during the Trump administration, making this visit a significant event. The last Boston sports team to visit was the Red Sox in 2019, amid political tensions. This tradition of champions visiting the White House was resumed by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021 after a hiatus since 2016.
