After a disappointing end to the 2024-2025 NBA season, the Boston Celtics are likely going to go into next year with a different-looking roster.

Porzingis missed long stretches of games this season with an illness that lasted into the playoffs.
Coming into a season where the Celtics are looking to reload, Porzingis and Holiday are two candidates to wear different jerseys next season.
