The winning gene cannot be blown up, but it will be wise to hide it for a season. Like a bear that must hibernate, Boston Celtics faces the upcoming season aware that Tatum's injury prevents them from having serious aspirations and that they need to lose games and be patient towards 2027.

Opportunities in the NBA are seized, but they are also sought after. That is what Boston Celtics will do in a season marked to develop young talents, try to revalue secondary players, and even secure a low position in the standings to get a good pick in the Draft. The goal is to do everything necessary to reach October 2026 with the best possible team, ready to assault glory once again.

It is expected that Jaylen Brown and Derrick White will start, and even Pritchard will gain more prominence, but any unexpected injury will be treated with the utmost caution. There is significant interest in seeing what Anfernee Simmons is capable of, a player who could earn a place in the team or, perhaps, increase his value to be traded. It is clear that Boston Celtics are not among the candidates for anything, and only a miracle would make them fight for a playoff spot.
