Whispers — or if we are being more honest, talk — of a rift between veteran big man Tristan Thompson and his team, the Boston Celtics, caught the attention of fans in a new podcast from The Ringer’s Chris Vernon and Kevin O’Connor on Tuesday.
Speaking to one another on a new episode of “The Mismatch,” the duo discussed the state of the Celtics, talking about how the rumors of a potential Marcus Smart trade might be affecting things in Boston and — later on — Thompson’s situation. The champion center has been in the league’s health and safety protocols for the last four games, and Vernon spoke about how the big man has been flouting COVID-19 safety rules to the chagrin of his teammates.
“I was told he won’t stop going out,” said the Ringer analyst.
