Just how much playing time do we think each player on the Boston Celtics’ roster ought to get next season? The Celtics have run it back with more or less the same roster they won Banner 18 with in the 2024 NBA Finals, but shifting expectations, father time, and injuries have conspired to through such a roster a few curveballs that won’t just be a short-term concern for Boston’s coaching staff to manage.<\/p>\n
To try to answer the question of how the minutes ought to be distributed in an ideal scenario for Boston, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast linked up with NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg to talk it over. The crew touches on which rookies and other deep rotation players might see their roles grow this season, who still isn’t ready for prime time, and how Boston ought to handle the frontcourt while star big man Kristaps Porzingis heals up.<\/p>\n
We also get into what little news is still percolating up ahead of the start of training camps later this month, so be sure to tune into this late summer episode of the Lab.<\/p>\n
