Porzingis was injured in Game 2 of the NBA Finals and missed two contests before coming off the bench in Game 5 and playing 16 minutes as the Celtics beat the Mavericks to win the title. Look for Al Horford to start with Xavier Tillman, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta backing him up.

Porzingis (recovery from left leg surgery) is hoping to make his season debut in December.

Tatum acknowledged he addressed a few mechanical issues with his shot during the offseason, according to John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com.

Porzingis is hoping he'll be ready to rejoin the Celtics' lineup in December after undergoing foot surgery this summer, Ramona Shelburne of ESPN reports.

Scheierman could have a fair shot at winning a rotation spot for the Celtics ahead of the 2024-25 regular season, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Springer could have a fair shot at winning a rotation spot for the Celtics ahead of the 2024-25 regular season, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Tatum revealed he considers himself the favorite to win the MVP Award in the 2024-25 season during an appearance on "The Tonight Show," according to Max Molski of NBC Sports Boston.

The Celtics are not likely to consider signing Springer to a contract extension, according to Brian Robb of MassLive.

Queta could experience an uptick in minutes during the first half of the 2024-25 regular season due to the absence of Kristaps Porzingis, according to Brian Robb of MassLive.

Kornet could experience an uptick in minutes during the first half of the 2024-25 regular season due to the absence of Kristaps Porzingis, according to Brian Robb of MassLive.

Scheierman could see steady minutes off the bench for the Celtics during his rookie year, Jared Weiss of The Athletic speculates.

Tillman is expected to see an uptick in minutes early in the 2024-25 season, according to Jared Weiss of The Athletic.

Tillman is viewed as one player who could improve for the Celtics ahead of the 2024-25 season, Brian Robb of MassLive.com speculates.

Hauser is expected to handle a more prominent role for the Celtics in the early stages of the 2024-25 season, according to Brian Robb of MassLive.

Pritchard is expected to handle a more prominent role for the Celtics in the early stages of the 2024-25 season, according to Brian Robb of MassLive.

Harper is looking to make a strong impression on the Celtics during training camp as he hopes to earn a spot on the team's roster for the 2024-25 season, according to Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe. "I was feeling real good before the injury," he said. "I was going through some shoulder stuff and ended up tearing my labrum, having surgery in December and wasn't really cleared to play until June. I'm still trying to get into the flow of things. It's been a long process. It's the longest time I've ever gone without playing basketball since I started hooping. To get back into the flow is real important but I feel like I'm doing a good job."

Horford is not thinking about retiring after winning the title with the Celtics in the 2023-24 season and intends to play in 2024-25, according to Jared Weiss of The Athletic. "I'm coming back. That's the plan. I'll start training in a couple weeks again," he said.

Queta is headed to free agency, but the Celtics are interested in bringing him back for the 2024-25 season, John Hollinger of The Athletic reports.

Tillman is headed to free agency, but the Celtics are interested in bringing him back for the 2024-25 season, John Hollinger of The Athletic reports.

Kornet is headed to free agency, but the Celtics are interested in bringing him back for the 2024-25 season, John Hollinger of The Athletic reports.

The Celtics are expected to offer Tatum a new five-year maximum deal "in the coming days or weeks," according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com.
