While the Celtics are officially off on their title-defense playoff run, they could still get some regular-season accolades. The NBA will release its awards in the coming days like MVP, Sixth Man of the Year, All-NBA teams and more as the playoffs roll on.

Pritchard will compete against Ty Jerome of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Malik Beasley of the Detroit Pistons for the title of NBA Sixth Man of the Year. The winner, along with the winners of the other 2024-25 NBA awards, will be announced during the postseason.

It took Pritchard, who subbed in late in the first quarter, just 46 seconds to hit his first 3-pointer. Three possessions later, he was fouled on a 3-point attempt and made all three free throws. Twenty seconds after that, he drained a three in transition after a Kristaps Porzingis steal. Three minutes, nine points.
