A Boston Celtics fan has reportedly been banned from the TD Garden through the end of next season for yelling a racial slur at Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins.

Once the Anthony Davis sweepstakes open, you can expect the Boston Celtics to be first in line.

With LeBron James out of the Eastern Conference, the Philadelphia 76ers have their sights set on the Boston Celtics. Ben Simmons says so. From Sporting News’ James McKern: “We’ve got to get past Boston, those are the guys at the top right now. Beating them, that’s our next goal,” Simmons said. “Obviously getting further than the [...]

The Boston Celtics were one win away from the NBA Finals last season with two all-star caliber players on the shelf in Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward.
