What happened: The Boston Celtics worked out a former UConn center ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft, according to a Yahoo Sports item surfaced by GNews NBA. The workout adds another frontcourt prospect to Boston's pre-draft evaluation process.

Why it matters: The Celtics are in offseason mode after their postseason exit, making draft workouts part of a broader roster reset. Frontcourt depth has been a recurring focus around the Boston Celtics' offseason path, and center prospects could matter if the team looks for cheaper rotation options.

By the numbers: Boston has been reported to hold the No. 27 and No. 40 selections in the 2026 NBA Draft. The signal identifies the workout target only as a former UConn center, with no player name provided in the source text.

What to watch: Watch for the full workout list and whether Boston brings the prospect back for additional evaluation. The draft board will sharpen as private workouts and medical reviews continue.
