Fast starts, fresh faces, and one epic Spikeball rally

Boston’s training camp is turning up the tempo — literally. Jayson Tatum could return by March, Jaylen Brown’s embracing leadership, and Jordan Walsh is chasing his perfect role-player season. Everyone’s locked in, except the Spikeball that allegedly still hasn’t landed at Auerbach Center.

Coach Joe Mazzulla insists on ‘fast’ as the week’s mantra, Payton Pritchard’s got a new battle scar, and Derrick White’s defense is drawing eyes. If this energy holds, the parquet might need its own highlight reel.
