The Boston Celtics couldn’t have asked for a much better start to the season. They currently lay claim to the best record in the NBA at 35-12 and have won nine games in a row. But it hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows for everyone on the roster.
Payton Pritchard was an integral member of Boston’s rotation during his rookie season, and in his sophomore year with the team, he worked hard to earn that spot back. So far this year, he hasn’t had the same luck. But despite failing to earn consistent minutes, he’s stayed ready, and when his number was called against the Toronto Raptors, he answered yet again.
