Sunday's Celtics-Hornets preseason opener will have a little bit of a surreal quality to it.
After eight seasons in Charlotte, Kemba Walker will make his Boston debut, while Terry Rozier will play his first game for Charlotte after four seasons with the C's.
While the starting point guards will garner a lot of the focus, the game has plenty of other interesting storylines to monitor. How will Gordon Hayward look now that he's two years removed from his devastating ankle injury? What will Enes Kanter bring to the Boston frontcourt? How will this new-look group fit together? After playing together in summer league, how will the Celtics rookies play against stiffer competition? And how will the Garden faithful respond to Tacko Fall in his first game on the parquet?
Tune into NBC Sports Boston to watch the Celtics open the preseason against the Hornets. You can also watch the Celtics livestream on the MyTeams App.
