Entering the 2026-27 NBA season, the Boston Celtics appear to be in peak condition, a stark contrast to recent years. Team President Brad Stevens expressed cautious optimism about the roster's current health during Media Day.

Robinson, signed to a three-year deal, is committed to rigorous body maintenance to increase his playing time. George, acquired via trade, highlighted his natural healing and expressed happiness with his new team, aiming for a championship run.
