Boston Celtics add 6’8 ft ex-Suns big man to boost title push, support Tatum

 The Boston Celtics have signed Jalen Bridges, a former teammate of Kevin Durant, to potentially fill the void left by Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury. Tatum is expected to miss most of the 2025-26 season. Bridges, a 6-foot-8 forward, played sparingly for the Phoenix Suns. Despite modest professional stats, his college career showcased a strong perimeter shooting ability. The Boston Celtics have signed Jalen Bridges, a former teammate of Kevin Durant, to potentially fill the void left by Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury.
