Jaylen Brown leaves with injury as Celtics beat Raptors in preseason finale
The Boston Celtics have been preparing to enter this season without Jayson Tatum, but now the status of his longtime co-star, Jaylen Brown, is uncertain as well. Brown, Boston’s clear-cut No. 1 option while Tatum recovers from Achilles surgery, exited Wednesday night’s preseason finale at TD Garden with what the team described as left hamstring tightness.
Brown suffered the injury midway through the first quarter. Roughly a minute after falling awkwardly on a drive to the basket, he grabbed his hamstring, called for a substitution, and walked off toward the locker room. The Celtics announced Brown was doubtful to return, and he did not re-enter the game. He finished with seven points, two rebounds, and one steal in seven minutes.
In Brown’s absence, Derrick White made a significant impact, stuffing the stat sheet, while Neemias Queta played his best game of the preseason. The Celtics narrowly defeated the Toronto Raptors 110-108 on a last-second basket by Xavier Tillman.
However, the main story heading into next Wednesday’s regular-season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers is Brown’s availability.
### Potential Starting Lineups
The Celtics started a lineup of Payton Pritchard, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Chris Boucher, and Neemias Queta against the Raptors — a possible preview of their starting five on opening night if Brown is healthy.
If Brown misses time, the most logical starting lineup would feature Pritchard, White, Sam Hauser, Boucher, and Queta. Hauser, who started against Cleveland on Sunday, did not dress for Wednesday’s game.
### Facing Toronto’s Starters
Toronto started its top unit of Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, and Jakob Poeltl in this game. This marked the first time the Celtics faced an opponent’s starters during the preseason, as their first three opponents had rested most of their regulars.
White, one of only two returning starters from last season’s team along with Brown, stood out on both ends of the floor. He finished with 32 points, nine rebounds, six assists, four blocks, and just one turnover in 35 minutes.
No other Celtics player reached double digits until Anfernee Simons scored 14 points on 4-of-13 shooting and hit a crucial three-pointer with 2:53 remaining.
### Individual Performances
Pritchard struggled from the field, going 1-for-11 and 0-for-8 from three-point range. However, he made all eight of his free throws, dished out 10 assists, and posted a team-best plus-19 rating.
After seeing limited minutes in the first three preseason games, Queta impressed against the Raptors with four blocks and 12 rebounds, including five offensive boards. The Celtics’ lone 7-footer also scored eight points on 4-of-7 shooting, highlighted by a series of nifty post moves to score over Barnes in the second quarter.
Even with Hauser out of uniform, the Celtics utilized 12 different players in the opening quarter alone. Simons, Josh Minott, and Luka Garza entered at the 6:42 mark, followed by Jordan Walsh and Hugo Gonzalez, then Xavier Tillman and Baylor Scheierman.
### Depth and Rotation Strategy
It’s unclear how many of those reserves will see regular minutes this season, but head coach Joe Mazzulla hinted at the possibility of employing a deep rotation—or as he put it before the game, “no rotation at all”—to maximize the strengths of Boston’s new, less experienced roster.
“I don’t know that we’ll have one throughout the entire year,” Mazzulla said. “Listen, every time you have a team, a strength and a weakness can be very similar to those things, right? And I think one of our strengths is the depth that we have. We may have limited experience, we may have newness, but I think we have depth. And I think the ability to not have a rotation is a strength, because you can go to fresh guys, you can go to a bunch of different guys, you can do a bunch of different things. We’re in the, obviously, early stages of that, but I’m not sure that we will have one, and I think that actually could be a good thing for us throughout the season.”
### Frontcourt and Wing Depth Concerns
The Celtics are especially unproven in the frontcourt, where they’ll rely on Queta, Boucher, Garza, and Tillman to fill the void left by Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Luke Kornet. On the wing behind Brown and Hauser, four young players—Minott, Walsh, Scheierman, and Gonzalez—are competing for minutes, all logging at least 11 minutes Wednesday night.
After the Celtics took a 106-94 lead with 1:53 remaining, Mazzulla opted to close with a lineup featuring Minott, Scheierman, and Gonzalez against Toronto’s backups. Although that group could not hold the lead amid several late Boston turnovers, Xavier Tillman’s game-winning 11-footer with 8.9 seconds left sealed the victory and sent the TD Garden crowd home happy.
Tillman, who also drained a clutch three-pointer earlier in the fourth quarter, was the only Boston reserve to finish with a positive plus/minus in the win.

Taylor® Guitars Expands Popular SOMOS Collection® With Six New Models
Latin-Inspired Sound and Style
The SOMOS Collection® was first introduced as a family of Latin-inspired acoustic instruments that reflect Taylor’s Southern California roots and the diversity of its musical community. “Somos,” meaning “we are” in Spanish, evokes unity, identity, and shared expression.
Each new model features a cutaway Dreadnought body, onboard electronics, a slim, easy-playing Taylor neck, and C-Class bracing—a variant of the company’s patented V-Class® bracing—engineered to enhance volume, sustain, and intonation. Custom D’Addario string sets are designed for their respective tunings, alongside an offset bridge-pin and string-ramp setup that boosts resonance and responsiveness without the string interference typical of traditional 10- or 12-string designs.
Model Highlights
100 Series — 150ce Bajo Quinto / 150ce Doce Doble
The most price-friendly entries in the SOMOS Collection, the 100 Series models channel a clean, traditional aesthetic with a natural matte finish, black binding, dot inlays, and chrome tuners. Torrefied spruce tops paired with layered sapele backs and sides deliver warm, classic tone with powerful punch and articulation. Each model includes a gig bag and either an EMG ACS soundhole humbucker pickup (Bajo Quinto) or Taylor’s ES2 electronics system (Doce Doble).
Starting at $899 USD.
200 Plus Series — 250ce Plus BLK Bajo Quinto / 250ce Plus BLK Doce Doble
Boasting bold blacktop finishes, white binding, and Italian acrylic accents, these models make a stark visual statement perfect for any performer. Layered maple back and sides add brightness and projection, complemented by a solid torrefied spruce top for balance and volume. They come outfitted with AeroCase protection and a choice of EMG ACS pickup (Bajo Quinto) or ES2 electronics (Doce Doble).
Starting at $1,599 USD.
200 Deluxe Series — 260ce-K DLX Bajo Quinto / 260ce-K DLX Doce Doble
Crafted with figured, layered Hawaiian koa back and sides and a solid koa top, these guitars combine a bold, shimmering tone with showstopping visuals. A gloss shaded edgeburst finish, gold tuners, and Sentinel fretboard inlays make these guitars destined for the stage. Each includes a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Case and EMG ACS or ES2 electronics.
Starting at $2,099 USD.
A Modern Take on Tradition
The requinto-style Doce Doble reimagines the unison-strung 12-string format long favored in regional Mexican and Latin music, producing lush, chorus-like textures suited for any genre. The Bajo Quinto, a mainstay in Norteño and Tejano ensembles, offers five double courses tuned in fourths (A-D-G-C-F), creating a bold, rhythmic foundation that complements both bass and accordion accompaniment.
The new SOMOS Collection instruments are already being played by leading artists and producers shaping the sound of contemporary regional music, including Angel Aispuro and Edgar Rodriguez; Juan Bojorquez (“El Pony”) of Fuerza Regida; Carlos Torres with Peso Pluma; Jorge Tapia with Natanael Cano; Joaquin Ruiz of Grupo Firme; Alan Nieblas from Alta Consigna; and Gil Leyva with Junior H.
“For me, the Taylor bajo quinto and doce doble have really helped me find new ways to express myself,” said Joaquin Ruiz, guitarist for Grupo Firme. “They’ve inspired me with their fresh sound and unique approach. Just like music evolves, there’s a real need for instruments to keep up with that change.”
Crafted Across Borders
The new SOMOS Collection models are built in Taylor’s state-of-the-art Tecate, Baja California, Mexico manufacturing facility, just across the border from its El Cajon, California headquarters. The Tecate plant, which has produced Taylor’s 100 and 200 Series guitars for decades, plays a central role in the company’s focus on craftsmanship, sustainability, and broader access to the highest-quality instruments.
“The SOMOS Collection is literally and spiritually built on both sides of the border,” Powers added. “It’s a reflection of who we are ‘somos’ as makers, musicians, and neighbors.”
Availability & Pricing
The six new SOMOS Collection models will be available beginning October 15, 2025, starting at a $999 USD street price for the 150ce and ranging up to $1,699 USD for the 260ce-K DLX.

Who Went Home On ‘The Golden Bachelor’ Tonight? And Who’s Headed To Hometown Week?
In some ways, *The Golden Bachelor* Season 2 feels like it’s only just begun. But after saying goodbye to three more women this week, Mel Owens has officially handed out his three Hometown Week stems and is headed to meet the families! That’s right, folks — Hometown Week is already on the horizon, followed by Fantasy Suite Week, a Women Tell All special, and then the *Golden Bachelor* Season 2 finale!
So who made the cut, who got cut, and who self-eliminated ahead of the make-it-or-break-it week? We’ve got answers.

### The Golden Bachelor Group Date Recap: Good Vibes Only
Tonight’s episode featured Mel’s final group date of the season to Butterfly Mountain, where he brought Peg, Debbie, Cheryl, Nicole, and Carol on a spiritual journey to rid themselves of negative emotions and become more aligned. The group engaged in mud baths, ice plunges, tantric yoga, and other cleansing activities.
Mel managed to snag crucial one-on-one time with all the ladies. However, two Golden Gals were emitting some negative energy.
The first was… you guessed it, Nicolle! After episodes packed with PDA with Mel and openly discussing her plans to leverage her *Golden Bachelor* fame for an influencer career, Nicolle gave Mel a glimpse of her true intentions. When asked where she saw herself in five years, she immediately focused on business:
> “My dad is my accountant, he takes care of my finances, and he says, ‘You could have a little more income coming in.’ I work on Instagram, I’m working on monetizing it, and would love to author a cookbook with plant-based recipes.”
Mel later admitted to the cameras,
> “There’s a few things in the conversation that gave me pause. This could have been what Robin talked about.”
Instead of probing further, Mel ultimately brushed aside those concerns and sent her home.
The second source of negative vibes came from Carol. She realized that she and Mel must be lagging behind the other relationships because she was the only remaining woman who hadn’t received a one-on-one date. With Hometown Week rapidly approaching, Carol concluded that although she was interested in Mel, they hadn’t formed a solid enough connection. She chose to self-eliminate — a decision that, while disappointing for fans of hers (myself included), was admirable in its honesty and self-awareness.
At this point in the journey, it seemed clear that Cindy and Debbie were definite rose recipients. Nicolle’s spell on Mel was broken, and the last rose would come down to Peg or Cheryl.

### Mel Owens and Cindy Angelcyk Cullers’ One-on-One Date Recap: The Sun, The Moon, and The Stars
While Cindy didn’t receive Mel’s first impression rose, from Night 1 it was obvious he had his eye on her. Their physical chemistry accelerated quickly.
For their one-on-one date, Mel took Cindy horseback riding up to Griffith Observatory. There, Cindy opened up about her life — her divorce seven years ago, her three daughters, and her struggles to find love since then.
> “I am shocked to be feeling the way I’m feeling,” she admitted. She told Mel, “My feelings for you are real.”
He returned the sentiment, gifting her her own personal star in the sky. The two spent the night kissing, bonding, dancing, and stargazing at the Observatory. Cindy summed up the experience perfectly:
> “He’s the sun, the moon, and the stars for me all wrapped up into one.”
Safe to say, she was headed to Hometown Week.
—
### The Golden Bachelor: Who Went Home? Who’s Getting a Hometown Date?
Before the toughest rose ceremony yet, Mel said he “prayed on it” and carefully decided which three women would advance to the next round.
Ahead of the big night, all the women FaceTimed with their loved ones before learning their fate.
In addition to Carol’s self-elimination, Cheryl and Nicolle were also sent home.
True to form, Nicolle stirred the pot on her way out:
> “When it doesn’t work out with the one you pick, cause it probably won’t, you call me. I mean that. I’m a little surprised at this outcome, I really thought it was gonna be me, it should have been. Mel didn’t choose me but maybe you’ll choose me for *The Golden Bachelorette*, you never know.”
ABC, please do NOT choose her for *The Golden Bachelorette*! Let’s keep it wholesome, people!

### Mel’s Top Three Moving On to Hometown Week
– **Cindy Angelcyk Cullers:** 60-year-old retired biomedical engineer from Austin, Texas
– **Debbie Siebers:** 65-year-old fitness professional from Denver, Colorado
– **Peg Munson:** 62-year-old from Las Vegas, Nevada
Will the loved ones accept Mel with open arms, or will they be as skeptical as Bachelor Nation was when Season 2 first started? Stay tuned for next week’s recap!
