Now that the 2022-23 NBA regular season is over, fans of the Boston Celtics and other teams that have played well enough to have earned themselves a trip to the 2023 NBA Playoffs (or the play-in tournament that can get them there) turn their attention to the postseason.
And while that will remain the focus for as long as the team one follows remain in the mix to win it all, before we get down that particular sort of business, there are the season-long accolades to consider with several within the Celtics organization who could win some 2023 hardware.
For many of the players on the Celtics’ roster, it won’t be their first time earning league-wide recognition; let’s take a look at what players have been honored so in the past before they need some more room in their trophy cases (h/t HoopsHype for the research).
