The ’22-23 NBA trade deadline is Feb. 23, and with that date approaching, whispers are beginning to turn to rumors around the league. According to Heavy’s Steve Bulpett, rival teams are beginning to show interest in Boston’s Payton Pritchard.
Pritchard is a 25-year-old sharpshooter who played four years of college ball at Oregon. As such, Pritchard has shot 40.5% on 3-pointers for his career while providing steady support in reserve for the Celtics. As Bulpett noted, Pritchard’s minutes have declined this year with the arrival of Malcolm Brogdon. Pritchard is averaging just 10.5 minutes per game for the season, a career low, while also seeing a dip in his effectiveness from deep.
