Boston Celtics

Director of Organizational Growth and Team Development Art Horne and head athletic trainer Patrick Chasse have maintained the legacy of long-time athletic trainer Ed Lacerte, historically finishing as a top 10-unit since Lacerte’s departure. However, the Celtics medical team entered the 2022-23 season knowing they would see an increase in their overall injury numbers. In addition to Robert Williams’ time lost for offseason knee surgery, free agent signing Danilo Gallinari tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) while playing with the Italian National Team and missed the entire season. Despite the setback, the Celtics front office showed confidence in the unit trading for Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, two proven veterans with unique injury profiles. Keeping Porzingis healthy will be particularly important for a front court that is lacking depth.
