Celtics return to court with preseason win over Nuggets in Abu Dhabi
The Celtics opened with four of their usual five starters: Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Luke Kornet got the nod over Al Horford at the center spot, which will be occupied by Kristaps Porzingis once he makes it back from offseason leg surgery. (Porzingis, who made the trip to Abu Dhabi, is targeting a December return.)
