The NBA made a historic announcement regarding Jalen Brunson during the New York Knicks' victory over the Boston Celtics on Monday night.

Last year, Boston president Brad Stevens and his front office picked Baylor Scheierman at No. 30 overall and Anton Watson at No. 54 overall. Scheierman showed flashes near the end of his rookie season and could eventually become a rotation player. Watson was waived from his two-way contract and landed with the Knicks.

Over the first two games of the second-round series between the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks, there were major concerns regarding the defending champions.

NBA insider Brian Windhorst reported for ESPN, "Even if Horford doesn't re-sign -- he doesn't plan to retire and would like to return, sources said -- Boston is facing a payroll, with luxury taxes, next season of $464 million, according to ESPN front office insider Bobby Marks."
