The 2025-26 NBA season will begin on 21st October 2025, and teams are preparing to dominate on the court. After missing the consecutive title last NBA season, the Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard took the offseason workout to another level. With Jayson Tatum’s status uncertain due to his recovery from an ACL tear sustained in last season’s playoffs, Pritchard is preparing for this critical time.

Recently, Pritchard invited former teammates and friends to join him in tough training sessions. All these preparations could support the team in Tatum’s absence. Before the start of the season, Pritchard took time to appear on the White Noise Podcast. During the discussion, Pritchard hilariously admitted that fans often recognise his wife more than him.

“100%. Especially in the East Coast area. I mean, I can’t even say East Coast because I’ll anywhere, and like, I’m thinking somebody’s coming up for me and they are like, really coming up to tell me that they are fans of Emma. And they don’t even really know that I play ball. They are like, ‘I know you play basketball, but I love Emma,” Pritchard said.

Pritchard’s wife, Emma MacDonald, is a famous social media influencer and vlogger with 381k followers on Instagram. Pritchard mentions that some fans only recognise him because of her.

During the discussion on the White Noise Podcast, Pritchard sends high praise to his Boston Celtics teammate Sam Hauser. He complimented Hauser’s shooting skills and called him one of the best in the league.

“He has the best shooting form. I love watching Sam. Off the dribble, obviously, but that catch-and-shoot. Running this way, running that way. He’s one of the best catch-and-shoot shooters, if not the best in the league. If it’s open? Swoosh.” Pritchard said.

While Tatum is sidelined, speculation has emerged about whether Jaylen Brown can lead the team to a championship this season. The Celtics will play their first regular-season game of the 2025-26 NBA season against the Philadelphia 76ers.
