The Boston Celtics played basketball in TD Garden on Thursday, playing intra-team scrimmages together in their home arena — a statement that would be utterly un-newsworthy ahead of the start of most NBA seasons.
But this is, as we all know, no normal season ahead of the Celtics, who had not hoisted a single shot since before the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic shut down the team and the league for nearly four months. While the Celtics managed to make a deep run in the Disney restart held at the Wide World of Sports complex in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, as Dorothy makes a point of noting in “The Wizard of Oz,” there’s no place like home.
Sporting two new rookies and two new veterans on their roster, the team descended on the Garden, and those who were able got in some games playing against each other.
If you haven’t yet seen the video uploaded by our friends at CLNS Media, we’ve embedded it above for your viewing pleasure — there’s only three more days until the team’s preseason tilts begin.
