Morning sports update: Danny Ainge denies Terry Rozier trade rumors

The Celtics face the Suns in Phoenix at 9 p.m., while the Bruins host the Canucks at 7 p.m.

On Sunday, the Patriots face the Titans in Tennessee, with Bill Belichick facing Mike Vrabel, one of his former players.

Terry Rozier is at the center of some early season trade rumor back-and-forth: The Celtics have started the season with an uneven 6-4 record, despite having one of the deepest rosters in the NBA. Yet a byproduct of that depth of talent will be balancing not only minutes but salary cap figures.

With Kyrie Irving announcing in October that he’s planning to stay in Boston for the long term, the likelihood of keeping fellow guard Terry Rozier in a new contract is diminished.
