Here is a look at the complete 2025-26 roster for the Philadelphia 76ers before opening night against the Boston Celtics.
BOTTOM LINE: The Boston Celtics begin the season at home against the Philadelphia 76ers. Boston went 61-21 overall, 39-13 in Eastern Conference action and 28-13 at home during the 2024-25 season. The Celtics averaged 15.6 points off of turnovers, 14.2 second-chance points and 30.4 bench points last season.
Meanwhile, the 2024 champion Celtics are stuck in limbo as Tatum recovers from a torn Achilles, and they've already lost three of the top six players from their title team -- Jrue Holiday, Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis -- due to financial concerns.
Despite the changes made to their roster, the Philadelphia 76ers are not taking the new-look Boston Celtics lightly.
