Boston Celtics Begin Training Camp for New Season

The Boston Celtics, fresh off their 2023-24 championship victory, are gearing up for the 2024-25 NBA season with high expectations and nearly the same roster intact. Media Day marks the beginning of their title defense, with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown looking to build on their success while motivated by past snubs. Despite Kristaps Porziņģis starting the season sidelined, the Celtics remain favorites in the Eastern Conference, with a challenging path ahead to secure a second consecutive title. Key storylines include the Celtics' ability to handle the pressure of being the hunted and the performance of their rivals, particularly the Bucks and 76ers, who are looking to rebound from last season's misfortunes. The Celtics' first preseason game is on October 4, followed by their regular season opener on October 22 against the Knicks, where they will receive their championship rings. As they embark on this journey, the Celtics aim to raise Banner 19 while navigating the dynamics of a new season.
