Boston Celtics were not in the best of the form last NBA season. They ended their playoff run with four consecutive losses to Milwaukee Bucks. As both Kyrie Irving and Al Horford departed, Celtics roped in point guard Kemba Walker, who could be a key player this season. The team also signed Enes Kanter, Vincent Poirier, Grant Williams, Romeo Langford, Carsen Edwards and Tremont Waters. Celtics also officially announced that they have signed Jaylen Brown to contract extension. Gordon Hayward, who recently suffered from a minor elbow injury, did not participate during the team practice on Monday. Boston Celtics will start their NBA 2019-20 season with a match against the Philadelphia 76ers.
