""The one thing that I think I'll never take for granted is being in the mix and having a chance," Stevens said."And as long as you've got the core that we have, then we have to do the very best we can to to ultimately get to the point where we can compete at that level, right? That's our North Star. And so, yeah, there's no question. There's motivation. "I'm excited for the guys - as a whole - but I'm really"

The 2025-26 Celtics begin a new season after a transformative summer that produced many new faces and organizational changes. Jayson Tatum continues recovering from a torn Achilles and could miss most or all of the season. The team tore down much of its previous roster to manage looming luxury-tax penalties and cap constraints, trading Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday and allowing free agents such as Al Horford and Luke Kornet to depart.
