There are a lot of games to look forward to next season, but Celtics-Lakers on December 5 could be must-see TV.

Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown is back on a basketball court for the first time (that we know of, anyway) since getting knee surgery this offseason. And by most accounts, the Georgia native has been looking much more like his former, springy, athletic self while he has been putting in the work ahead of the NBA's 2025-26 regular season.

With Horford in Golden State, the Celtics will have to rely on newly acquired centers Chris Boucher and Luka Garza, plus incumbent Neemias Queta, to man that spot next year. It's unclear at this point which one will start.

That landed the Celtics in last place on David Aldridge’s ranking of every NBA team’s offseason for The Athletic. Calling Boston’s situation “bleak,” Aldridge explained that the second apron was a horror for the Celtics to deal with this offseason.

During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Conlon wore only jersey No. 30 and put up 7.8 points 4.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game.

Jaylen Brown may have some extra motivation for the coming Celtics season after finding out his NBA 2K rating.
