Pritchard weighs Celtics extension after Brown trade

Brown’s exit ended a 10-season run in Boston

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Aug 111 min read

What happened: Payton Pritchard is considering a new contract with the Boston Celtics as the club reshapes its roster for 2026-27.

Why it matters: An extension would clarify Pritchard’s place in Boston’s post-trade plans and give the Celtics another long-term roster commitment.

By the numbers: A three-year extension could be worth up to $67 million.

What to watch: The next marker is whether extension talks produce an agreement before the 2026-27 season.
