The Boston Celtics returned to action against the Memphis Grizzlies on the road at Tennessee’s FedEx Forum on Wednesday (Oct. 8) evening, winning 121-103 with big games from star forward Jaylen Brown (21 points), point guard Derrick White (16 points, 10 assists, 2 blocks), and reserve wing Baylor Scheierman (13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals).
Boston got plenty of help, with new forward Chris Boucher (11 points, 4 rebounds) making a rare start while Xavier Tillman Sr. (7 points, 5 boards) showed off his svelte new form and less angry knee. From off the bench, Luka Garza (10 points and as many rebounds), Josh Minott (8 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals), and Hugo Gonzalez (8 points, 3 rebounds, 3 blocks) all helped secure the win.
Let’s take a look at some of the best photos from Boston’s first preseason win of their 2025-26 slate of games.
