What happened: Boston opened camp preparations with Media Day ahead of the 2026-27 season. Conley re-signed on a one-year deal in July as Boston reshaped its veteran backcourt.

Why it matters: Boston split Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown after nine seasons together, turning to veteran guards for stability. Paul George was introduced alongside Conley in September as the reset took shape.

What to watch: Boston opens training camp with preseason rotations to settle. Conley's backcourt role will clarify once practices begin.
