Is there a bigger storyline to the Boston Celtics 2025-26 NBA regular season than the return of Jayson Tatum? The recovery of the St. Louis native from a torn Achilles tendon sustained in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series the Celtics dropped to the New York Knicks has been by far the biggest factor guiding the front office when making hard financial decisions for Boston’s campaign ahead.
But could there actually be some aspect of the coming season that is actually even more important to the future of the Celtics and their pursuit of a 19th banner? The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Beat” podcast, Adam Kaufman and Evan Valenti, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about what might end up dominating the reporting for Boston’s coming campaign.
