After weeks of speculation, we now know when Stephen Curry will be heading to Boston. The NBA released its schedule for the upcoming season on Thursday afternoon, and Curry’s Warriors will make their lone trip to TD Garden to face off against the Celtics on Feb. 10, 2027.
This will be the two-time MVP’s only appearance on the parquet, barring a rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals next June.
Simply put, he’s not going to be traded. It doesn’t matter how many fake aggregation posts made their way onto your timeline or how many AI generated photoshops of Curry in a Celtics jersey snuck onto your Instagram feed.
He’s not coming. Not even after playing golf on Martha’s Vineyard earlier this month for former United States president Barack Obama’s 65th birthday -- coincidentally with Jayson Tatum playing the same course “a few groups ahead.”
Golf gate, or whatever you’d prefer to call it, was an absolutely ridiculous day on the internet, by the way. Did people really think that a trip out to the Vineyard was going to convince Curry (as if he even has the final say) to force his way to the Celtics?
Like, yeah, a seasonal island tourist destination is really going to hard sell him on moving across the country to play basketball from October to April (and hopefully beyond).
So if you want to see him play in Boston, you’d better reserve your tickets now.
Getting to see Al Horford for the first time in over a year is the real prize
Truly, the lone matchup against Golden State should be a top-tier game to go to this upcoming season. Not only can fans daydream about a Curry trade that’s never happening, but they’ll also get to see a pair of Celtics champions alongside him.
Kristaps Porzingis re-upped on a new two-year, $40 million deal to stay with the Warriors, and Al Horford did the same, just for $14 million.
Horford is the real draw here. The 40-year-old headed west last summer and put a close to his second stint with the Celtics, where he became a beloved figure over seven total seasons. One of the sweetest aspects of seeing the team finally reach the mountain top two years ago was that Horford was a part of it.
The five-time All-Star chose to join the Celtics 10 years ago. Before that, it was largely unheard of for any major free agent to choose Boston. He made it cool and became part of one of the most successful (winning percentage wise) eras in franchise history.
Horford didn’t make the trip to TD Garden last season as he rehabbed a lingering calf strain. Fans didn’t get the opportunity to give him a warm welcome and a proper thank you. Hopefully this time around they will.
