Struggles from deep once again Pritchard racked up 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 109-100 loss to Philadelphia in Game 7 of t...

Impact Pritchard logged 39 minutes in Game 7, his most of the series. Although the 28-year-old was productive, he once again struggled shooting the ball by going 2-for-7 from deep. With Boston now eliminated from the playoffs, the Celtics may need to make some adjustments in order to remain competitive moving ahead. Pritchard, who has a couple of years left on his current contract, is coming off a solid 2025-26 campaign, averaging a career-best 17.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.2 assists, adding 0.1 blocks and 0.7 steals across 32.4 minutes in 79 regular-season appearances. Unless the Celtics receive a substantial offer, it's hard to imagine the team parting ways with the 2025 Sixth Man of the Year. Still, Pritchard might benefit from a change of scenery if he can carve out a stable role as a starter for a new club.

Impact Pritchard was on fire during Game 4, drilling six three-pointers on the way to a convincing victory. Most recently, Pritchard has performed as an ample sixth man for the Celtics. He started 50 games amid various injury scenarios that plagued the team, but he seems best suited as a spark plug with the second unit off the bench. He experienced career highs in almost every major category in this sixth season and has been invaluable to the team as they strive to bring another title back to Boston.
