BOSTON — After the Celtics’ Monday night win over the Utah Jazz, Jayson Tatum gleefully ushered Svi Mykhailiuk into the Celtics’ locker room.
The Ukrainian guard — the most recent recipient of the Celtics’ championship ring — immediately embraced former teammate Sam Hauser, who had just scored a career-high 33 points.
The rest of the Celtics were thrilled to see the Jazz guard back in TD Garden’s home locker room. Jrue Holiday broke into a grin, as players lined up to embrace the only member of the 2023-24 who signed with a different team in the offseason.
