Is backup Boston Celtics big man Luke Kornet a lock to play in the 2025 NBA Playoffs? The Vanderbilt alum has been playing the best basketball of his career in the second half of the 2024-24 regular season, to the degree that there has been chatter among fans and analysts of the team as to whether the Celtics will be able to afford the next contract of the pending free agent.
But Kornet has probably played well enough to earn some postseason playing time in minutes that actually matter. The question is whether he will get the opportunity when the proverbial rubber meets the road.
The hosts of the CLNS Media “The Big Three NBA” podcast, A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn, and Kwani Lunis took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!
