Boston Celtics fans have had a lot to be excited about lately, and more specifically, have a franchise that is headed in the right direction for the foreseeable future.

On a different note, a glance back into the past, the Celtics are one step closer to bringing back Paul Pierce as a symbolic gesture on his hall of fame career, as The Vertical’s Shams Charania reports that the Los Angeles Clippers have waived the 39-year-old Celtic great.

Gordon Hayward's free agency tour is scheduled, as the Celtics, Heat, and Jazz do battle for the 27-year-old's services.

Also, Isaiah Thomas had quite the day on Instagram.
