Sengun, who likely finished the season after suffering a grade 3 right ankle sprain, has established himself as one of the NBA’s best big men in 2023-24. “The talent level is real,” Udoka said. “That’s what you see on film and play against, and he’s taken a step forward so far.” Competitiveness and facing specific matchups from day one. I think he’s improved defensively in all areas, some of the things and challenges we’ve presented to him. He’s not even close to hitting his ceiling and he still has a ways to go, but he’s had a great year and…

And perhaps the hardest thing of all to play for Boston is their tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks at TD Garden next Wednesday evening. With the Celtics currently sitting 10 games ahead of the Bucks, is there anything to gain for Boston by playing their best players?

Kelly Oubre Jr. was very happy to answer a question about his defense Monday night. “Yeah,” Oubre said with a smile when he heard the words “night four blocks away.” Thanks to a successful challenge from head coach Nick Nurse, Oubre was ultimately credited with five rejections in Sixers victory against the Heat, who established a new a career high. Scoring is still his calling card, but he’s made plenty of big, encouraging plays besides getting in the bucket. Joel Embiid sidelined with left meniscus injury. Defensively, Oubre has often mixed his agility, length (a wingspan of just over 7-foot-2)…
It wasn’t just Dave Pasch and Hubie Brown on the ABC call that were tough on Sunday, nor were the lying eyes of Phoenix Suns fans who had watched past uninspired performances. A 140-129 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks was particularly alarming and limited the offense for parts of a game that, by the numbers, didn’t look that bad from the box score. “I thought Sunday’s performance outside of the All-Star Game was probably one of the worst defensive performances I’ve probably seen in a long time,” ESPN analyst Bobby Marks said.
