The C’s are ready to go back with almost their entire league roster. President of basketball operations Brad Stevens re-signed Luke Kornet, Xavier Tillman Sr., J.D. Davison and Drew Peterson this offseason, while signing Jayson Tatum, Derrick White and Sam Hauser to lucrative contract extensions. Free agents Oshae Brissett and Svi Mykhailiuk are the only members of the 2024 group not currently on the roster.
Until the Celtics return to action, fans can enjoy watching three of their stars at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Tatum, White and Jrue Holiday will try to lead Team USA to the gold medal starting this Sunday against Serbia.
