What happened: Boston held a live introductory press conference for its two veteran additions at 12:30 p.m. ET on team channels. George arrives via trade while Conley returns on a one-year deal entering his 20th season.

Why it matters: Boston opens 2026-27 without Jaylen Brown, shifting scoring and leadership to the new veterans. The reset has kept Boston in the East contender tier entering camp.

What to watch: Camp will reveal rotations and chemistry after Pritchard's August runs with the newcomers in Los Angeles.
