The 2013-14 Boston Celtics season marked a period of rebuilding for the franchise following the departure of key figures such as Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. Under new head coach Brad Stevens, the team aimed to develop young talent and establish a new identity. The Celtics finished with a 25-57 record, placing them 12th in the Eastern Conference and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
Rookie Kelly Olynyk and sophomore Jared Sullinger were among the players the team focused on developing. Sullinger led the team in rebounds, while Olynyk showed promise with his versatile offensive game. Rajon Rondo, recovering from an ACL injury, returned mid-season and contributed as the team’s floor general, averaging 11.7 points and 9.8 assists per game.
The season was also notable for the Celtics’ strategy in acquiring future assets. They traded away veterans like Jordan Crawford and Courtney Lee to collect draft picks, positioning themselves for future growth. Despite the poor record, the Celtics showcased potential and laid the groundwork for future success, ultimately prioritizing long-term development over immediate results.
Overall, the 2013-14 season was a transitional period for the Celtics. While the team struggled in terms of wins, the focus on youth and asset accumulation set the stage for future rebuilding and the eventual return to competitiveness in the following seasons.
- Regular Season Record: 25-57
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
