With Jrue Holiday no longer in the building and Jayson Tatum looking at a long time on the shelf, the Boston Celtics are looking to shake things up in the starting lineup. According to a report by NBA insider Grant Afseth,

Reigning Sixth Man of the Year Payton Pritchard is going to be handed that starting spot, which means Anfernee Simons would come off the bench as the sixth man, reports Grant Afseth at FastbreakJournal.com.

Payton Prichard took home Sixth Man of the Year honors last season, but could be in line for a much different -- and bigger -- role with the Boston Celtics in the 2025-26 NBA season.
