After watching Oshae Brissett’s latest vlog, it doesn’t sound like he’ll be headed back to Boston. However, he had nothing but good things to say about the Celtics. “The door’s not closed fully … I just wanna hoop.” Made it clear that he’d want more playing time elsewhere.

With no Kristaps Porzingis for the beginning of the season (at least), perhaps Neemias Queta gets more of a shot behind Horford, Kornet, and Tillman. He had 22 points (7-10 FG), 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks en route to a Summer League win for the C’s.
