BOSTON — It’s a tradition as old as time: Boston Celtics fans giving a rowdy ovation to a player they’d like to see in green. Whenever a player that has been linked to Boston appears at TD Garden as a visitor, it’s not uncommon for Celtics fans to give them a particularly loud response during player introductions. It worked for Gordon Hayward (much to Jae Crowder’s chagrin), and fans in attendance Monday night figured they’d try their hand at Anthony Davis. Prior to the C’s 113-100 win over the New Orleans Pelicans Monday night, fans at The Garden gave Davis a decent ovation. Davis has been linked to the Celtics for som... NESN.com

NBA Rumors: Pelicans Trading Anthony Davis Is A ‘Pipe Dream,’ Exec Says
Do you believe in miracles? Well, that’s what it might take to pry Anthony Davis away from the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans trading Davis before his contract expires in 2021 is “nothing more than a fantasy,” an NBA executive recently told The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor.
