With the NBA trade deadline less than 24 hours away, trade rumors aren’t the only rumors swirling around the Boston Celtics franchise as potential team chemistry issues inside the Celtics locker room have been reported.
On ‘The Mismatch’ podcast with The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor and Chris Vernon, O’Connor and Vernon discussed reported team chemistry issues amongst the Celtics, including Marcus Smart being unhappy about being involved in trade rumors, a ‘literal divide’ in the Celtics locker room which splits the teams into two, and most specifically, center Tristan Thompson is ‘resented’ and ‘not loved in that locker room for numerous different reasons’ amongst the team because he ‘won’t stop going out’ and continues to break health and safety protocols.
Amid those talks of rumored team chemistry issues in the Celtics locker room, head coach Brad Stevens took to his weekly appearance on Zolak & Bertrand of 98.5 The Sports Hub to refute those rumors and help ease the mind of Celtics fans
