Boston Celtics roster and coaching transitions

Overview

The Boston Celtics are undergoing significant roster transitions and personnel changes ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season.

Following the trade of Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum has become the team’s primary offensive option. The roster has been bolstered by veteran additions including Paul George, Mitchell Robinson, and Mike Conley Jr., while guard Payton Pritchard remains a key rotation player.
