McNutt ended the season after Boston’s 106–88 victory at TD Garden secured a 4–1 series victory.
She celebrated by posting a series of throwback photos during the Celtics’ postseason run.
Monica was joined by ESPN regulars Kendrick Perkins and Brian Windhorst for Game 5 in Boston.
And she sent a stunning video from the stands at the exact moment the Celtics made history.

“Just a few hits in the series,” McNutt told his 162,000 Instagram followers.
“Congratulations to all my people[sic] as [Celtics].
“Hoop streams crew, I had a blast, radio squad, folks!”
“All the looks are top notch!!” replied a fan in the comments section.
“One hell of a season!!!!! Congratulations, sister!” commented another.
“You are the queen of ESPN,” added a third.
“The way you shine among your peers is incredible. I absolutely love it,” said a fourth.
McNutt joined ESPN in 2019 and has been a regular on First Take since 2021.
She was recently involved in a public fight with co-star Stephen A. Smith after clashing on air over coverage of the WNBA show.
Smith said the ESPN show has “done more” than any other to boost the WNBA in recent years.
“Stephen A., respectfully, with your platform, you could have been doing this three years ago if you wanted,” McNutt responded.
‘Who talks about the WNBA the most?’
Stephen A. Smith had a disagreement with Monica McNutt on First Take about women’s basketball this week.
Smith said she didn’t like how she had to “watch every syllable” when talking about the WNBA, but McNutt wasn’t happy with her statement.
“Welcome to the world of being a woman, Stephen A,” she said.
“How you have to dance about your choice of words and how you have to please everyone as you navigate your being.”
Stephen A. made a comment that really excited McNutt.
“Who talks more about the WNBA, who talks more about women’s sports than First Take?” Stephen A. said.
McNutt was clearly irritated by her question and set the record straight on live TV.
“Stephen A., respectfully, with your platform, you could have been doing this three years ago if you wanted,” McNutt said.
Molly Qerim and Shannon Sharpe looked stunned, and Qerim tried to take the show to a commercial break, but the awkward moment continued.
After Stephen A. muttered “wow,” McNutt assured him that he thought he could have done more.
“You’re my guy,” McNutt said.
“But I’m talking to you.”
“You’re my girl,” Smith replied.
“But you missed too many episodes of First Take.”
Monica joined The Daily Show last week to discuss the fallout from the high-profile brawl and has since returned to First Take duties.
“My point is that this narrative that it’s the league against Caitlin Clark is absolutely false,” she said.
“It’s unfair to the women who have been there building this league so far, so Caitlin Clark’s popularity could take it to the next level.
“By the end of [First Take] transmission, the tone changed.
“I needed to put my foot down a little.”
