MassLive looked at four big men who the Celtics could pick in the 2025 NBA Draft based on where the team has draft picks.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum will likely return to a very different roster than the one he played his last NBA game with. Suffering a torn achilles in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, a series in which Boston fell to the New York Knicks, Tatum saw his season end.
During the 2024-25 NBA season with Boston, Porzingis played in just 42 games. He averaged 19.5 points per game to go along with 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.5 blocks, while shooting 48.3 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent from three-point range.

Durant signed with the Nets in June 2019 and sat out the next season due to his Achilles injury.
