New details about Anfernee Simons’ time with the Boston Celtics have surfaced, shedding light on the guard’s professionalism during his stint in green. CLNS Media's Noa Dalzell noted that Simons played through a wrist fracture originating from training camp and never missed a single game despite the discomfort.
That level of durability speaks to Simons’ character, toughness and commitment, especially on a contending roster where every possession matters.
While the injury eventually required further evaluation after his departure, his willingness to push through highlights the kind of mentality the Celtics value in their players. Boston’s front office and coaching staff clearly appreciated the effort, even as roster moves reshaped the backcourt.
Simons’ experience in Boston, though bried, added depth and shooting during a transitional phase. This wrist revelation only increases respect for how he handled the situation.
In the 2025-26 season, Simons has appeared in 55 games split between the Celtics and Chicago Bulls, averaging 14.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game while shooting 44.0 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from three.
His earlier games with Boston demonstrated the shooting and creation the Celtics sought, adding valuable perimeter scoring during a season of roster evolution.
