Boston Celtics: 3 players who will be key if C’s season returns

Though the Boston Celtics’ 2019-20 campaign has been cut short due to the COVID-19 outbreak, it does not mean a return to action is out of the realm of possibility. If the NBA season ever starts back up, who will prove to be vital to keeping the team’s success from this year going?

It has been just under two weeks since the Boston Celtics last took their talents to the Hardwood, but for fans of the franchise — as well as the entire NBA — it’s felt like an eternity. Due to the Coronavirus outbreak making it’s way to the United States and, subsequently the NBA, commissioner Adam Silver made the bold choice to suspend the 2019-20 season “until further notice.”

And while we many not want to admit it, Silver made the right choice.

Originally, it was reported that the suspension would last for “no less than 30 days”, giving fans hope that their favorite sport could come back to action after a month of hiatus. However, as the days linger on more and more uncertainty arises as to when, if ever, the season will return to action.

Some suspect this unexpected break in the season may come to it’s end by May, while others have speculated that we may be seeing NBA games played as late as August and beyond.

While there is clearly an obscene amount of questions pertaining to this dilemma, one thing is for certain: a return to action this year is well within the realm of possibility.

If this does end up happening, and the NBA returns from their hiatus, for the Boston Celtics, which players will be key to having them achieve similar success to what they were seeing prior to the suspension?
