The Boston Celtics were dealt two brutal blows in their second-round playoff series against the New York Knicks. Not only did they lose the series and were eliminated from the playoffs, but they also saw superstar forward Jayson Tatum go down with a torn Achilles.

OKLAHOMA CITY — In an exclusive interview with ClutchPoints, Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith’s father, William Nesmith, reflected on the Boston Celtics trading Nesmith for Malcolm Brogdon in 2022.
