Celtics announce preseason schedule
By Alex Barth, 985TheSportsHub.com
With the NBA regular season tipping off in less than a month, the Celtics released their two game preseason schedule on Friday.
Via PRESEASON SCHEDULE:
12/15 @ Philadelphia
12/18 vs Brooklyn
The opener against the Sixers will be the first time Boston sees former Celtics head coach Doc Rivers in his new home. Rivers signed with Philadelphia this summer after parting ways with the Los Angeles Clippers.
In their final tune-up the Nets, the Celtics will see arguably the best duo in the Eastern Conference in Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. Assuming both play a decent number of minutes, it will be a good opportunity to see how the new-look C’s stack up against elite competition.
Training camp for the Celtics begins this Tuesday, December 1. The NBA season is set to begin on December 22, although the exact schedule has yet to be released.
