The Celtics signed Max Shulga to a two way deal, but will he play in the NBA?
The Boston Celtics signed 2025 NBA Draft pick Max Shulga to a two way deal, but will he play in the NBA this season? The former Virginia Commonwealth combo guard had himself a solid if unremarkable stint suiting up for the Sin City Celtics in the league's 2025 Las Vegas Summer League after being picked up by Boston with the No. 57 overall pick of this year's draft. In a season that will see the Celtics mostly looking to develop younger players in pace of their usual pursuit of postseason wins, we can expect to see at least some of the cohort of young prospects taken by Boston in the draft this summer. Given Hugo Gonzalez, the Celtics' No. 28 pick, will already be in competition for minutes not only with likely starters Payton Pritchard and Derrick White, new addition Anfernee Simons (if he isn't traded first), and fellow Summer Celtics Baylor Scheierman and Jordan Walsh, there may be little or even no run at the NBA level for Shulga. The hosts of the CLNS Media "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk over how much we can expect the VCU alum to play in Maine. Check it out below! If you enjoy this pod, check out the "How Bout Them Celtics," "First to the Floor," and the many other New England sports podcasts available on the CLNS Media network:

Steelers' Darnell Washington defeats T.J. Watt, three other defenders in backs-on-backers
Backs-on-backers, an iconic Steelers training camp tradition where the pass-blocking skills of running backs and tight ends are put to the test — and Darnell Washington just passed with flying colors. At Friday Night Lights Practice, there was arguably no greater performance during the backs-on-backers drill than Washington, who reportedly defeated Jack Sawyer, DeMarvin Leal, Alex Highsmith, and the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback, T.J. Watt. Coming out of college, Washington was billed as the best pass-blocking tight end of the 2023 NFL Draft class — and the Steelers didn't think twice when he dropped all the way to the third round. Many predicted a Year 3 breakout for the huge Steelers tight end — but the acquisition of Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith put a damper on expectations. Clearly, Washington is ready for whatever challenges lie ahead — set out to prove that Smith and Pat Freiermuth aren't the only tight ends opposing defenses should worry about this season.

Keenan Allen visiting with Chargers as rumors of possible reunion swirl
It looks like Keenan Allen and the Chargers could be headed toward a reunion. Allen, 33, will be visiting his former home on Friday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. There is also 'mutual interest' between Los Angeles and the six-time Pro Bowler, per Pelissero. Allen, who was drafted by the Chargers in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, spent his first 11 seasons with the club before being dealt to the Bears ahead of last season. During his tenure with the Chargers, Allen racked up 904 receptions and 59 touchdowns with a total of 10,530 receiving yards. The California alum also won the Comeback Player of the Year award for the 2017 season after missing the majority of the previous season with a torn ACL. Allen is looking to come back from a down season with the Bears, where the receiver put up just 744 receiving yards on 70 receptions, his lowest for his entire career in a full season. The rumors between the potential homecoming accelerated following the abrupt retirement of Chargers receiver Mike Williams in July. Williams — who was just 30 years old when he announced his retirement — spent his first seven seasons with the Chargers before signing a one-year contract with the Jets before the 2024 season. The Clemson alum's tenure with the Jets was unimpressive, putting up just 166 receiving yards in nine games before being dealt to the Steelers midway through last season. Williams previously signed with the Chargers in March, where he was then put on the team's Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list ahead of training camp. Following the news of Williams' retirement, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was supportive of the wideout, saying that he wanted to 'be there for him.' 'I want what's best for Mike. He's always been there for us and we're going to be there for him,' Herbert told reporters then. 'It's obviously a tough situation, I've got so much respect for him as a teammate, as a friend, as a receiver, as a player and the man that he is. 'We're going to be there for him however we can help,' Herbert added. 'Football at the end of the day is a game and there's more to life than just football. I'm just hoping for the best for him.'
