Exclusive: How Blake Griffin has aided Celtics star Jayson Tatum in his Achilles rehab Former Celtic Blake Griffin knows what it's like to deal with injuries, so he's provided injured Celtics star Jayson Tatum with some advice.

Blake Griffin knows what it's like to struggle with injuries, and he doesn't want that for ex-teammate Jayson Tatum.

Celtics' Joe Mazzulla reacts to Malcolm Brogdon's unexpected retirement Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla has a habit of showing love to all of his players, including the recently retired Malcolm Brogdon.

Joe Mazzulla has created a culture of recognition for the Celtics, and it’s evident in the way he talks about his former players — no matter how their tenure ended.

I asked him about Malcolm Brogdon last night and his complimentary response didn’t surprise me:

Joe Mazzulla on Jaylen Brown leaving last night’s preseason finale with hamstring tightness:

“I think he’ll be ok. I talked to him after (the game) and he said he’ll be fine. But I didn’t get a full update.”

Why Brandon Jennings' Jayson Tatum tirade is everything wrong with NBA discourse Celtics star Jayson Tatum isn't flashy enough for former Bucks scorer Brandon Jennings, and it says a lot about NBA discourse.

It’s easy to dismiss Brandon Jennings’ comments about Jayson Tatum. And we probably should.

However, I took Jennings’ rant as an opportunity to discuss everything wrong with NBA discourse. Because the problems don’t end with him. ⬇️
