It might have been the last game of the 2022-23 NBA season. But reserve Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard made the most of it, and by the end of the game, the Portland Native found himself landing among the storied ball club’s all-time greats.
Putting up an impressive 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists in a rare opportunity for extended floor time, Pritchard did something no other Celtic has done apart from Hall of Famers Larry Bird and John Havlicek. Asked about his historic outing postgame, Pritchard replied that it was a “special crew to be a part of. I definitely feel honored.”
