Probably the real reason Lebron left the East. ;)

Having seen both of their 2017-18 seasons ended prematurely by injury, Celtics stars Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward are fully recovered and ready for the start of training camp on Sept. 26.

"I don't want to hype it up too much, but I'm saying that, if our training camp were starting today, that they would be here today going full speed," said Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge, as reported by ESPN. "It's not like they need an extra month. I think that they know they have an extra month so they are sort of pacing themselves. They're playing as if to build up to that opening day of training camp."

Mission accomplished, then. That's not much to get hyped about.

"Hey, our guys are able to practice... Calm down everybody, calm down. I know it's exciting, but don't worry, they are pacing themselves so that when actual practice starts they'll be going 100% practice speed. They are building up to it slowly. But when they do start practicing, watch the **** out! They'll be practicing at full speed. I promise you that."
 
Are Tatum, Brown, Rozier, and Horford ready to go full speed though? That’s the real question.
