Led by Jalen Brunson's 39 points, the New York Knicks took down the Boston Celtics by the final score of 121-113 in Game 4 of their second-round playoff series on Monday night.

During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Nelson wore only jersey No. 19 and put up 11.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game.

The Celtics weren't directly involved in the NBA Draft Lottery Monday night but the fallout could be good news for Boston's future.

Over the first two games of the second-round series between the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks, there were major concerns regarding the defending champions.

The Celtics have all but confirmed that they will make some moves to save money on what would otherwise be a historically large payroll and tax bill for the 2025-26 NBA season, with former majority owner and now Boston CEO Wyc Grousbeck letting it be known to the local media that he does not believe ANY team will remain in the new collective bargaining agreement (CBA)'s second apron for more than two seasons.

NBA insider Brian Windhorst reported for ESPN, "Even if Horford doesn't re-sign -- he doesn't plan to retire and would like to return, sources said -- Boston is facing a payroll, with luxury taxes, next season of $464 million, according to ESPN front office insider Bobby Marks."
