Boston Celtics hold first virtual press conference
According to Brad Stevens, the Boston Celtics’ head coach since 2013, the team couldn’t get in all the drills that they wanted. This was because they practiced within 12 hours of their first session on Friday evening. Robert Williams and Kemba Walker, the Boston Celtics duo whose fitness was under doubt, have both been cleared by Stevens.
Enes Kanter, who was rather unimpressed on his first day in Disney World with the accommodation, was in better spirits during the interview. According to him, the Boston Celtics only have the franchise’s 18th banner in their sights.

The pangs of homesickness have already started to hit the Boston Celtics, who reached Disney World on Wednesday. All Star swingman Jayson Tatum, who will be expected to be their X-Factor, said he misses being away from his son already.
Just like his teammate Enes Kanter, Tatum has unshakable faith in the Boston Celtics’ prospects at an 18th NBA championship. In addition to stating that the team has been getting back in shape and is having fun out on the court, Tatum talked about having a championship mindset:
The first-time All Star seems to have put on muscle, judging from how he looked at the press conference. He admitted to having worked on building muscle in his upper body - a big factor that could help him play better on dribble penetrations.
All-in-all, the Boston Celtics seem to be in good nick and raring to go for the season restart.
