Celtics star leaves Raptors preseason game

Celtics guard Derrick White wasn't surprised to see teammate Xavier Tillman Sr. sink a game-winner during Boston's preseason finale.
Mazzulla and Brown himself gave their own updates on the star's hamstring injury, but it remains something to monitor.
Mazzulla, who’s been cagey about how he plans to structure Boston’s overhauled starting lineup, seemed to confirm after Queta’s eight-point, 12-rebound, four-block showing that the 7-footer will be the top-choice big man to open the season.
As the Celtics prepare for their regular season opener on Oct. 22 against the Philadelphia 76ers, Brown’s health has suddenly become a concern. After playing in the preseason opener, he sat out the next two games for rest before returning to the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors.
Joe Mazzulla is clearly not tolerating any BS from Immanuel Quickley, as evidenced by the Celtics coach's violent reaction.
