Nick Kyrgios, arguably the most outspoken tennis star right now, is a huge fan of the NBA. In fact, Kyrgios is a proud Boston Celtics fan and he has been spotted at the TD Garden on multiple occasions. Like any other fan, Kyrgios points out the shortcomings of the team rather than only talking and posting about the team’s successes. The Celtics are currently on a three-game losing streak and this has frustrated a large section of the fanbase. And it seems like Nick Kyrgios is no exception.

Celtics star’s sister is not concerned despite the team’s recent troubles

The Boston Celtics have been a force to reckon with this season from the jump. The 2022 NBA finalists are 2nd in the Eastern Conference and have a 45-21 record. However, they have lost their previous three games against the Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, and the Cleveland Cavaliers respectively.

Naturally, this has some fans like Nick Kyrgios concerned about the team’s season. After the Cavaliers beat the Celtics in overtime recently, the tennis star took to Twitter and slammed Grant Williams.

He put out a series of tweets against the Celtics’ players and also questioned his spot on the team roster. “How is Grant Williams still on this roster,” tweeted the Australian. Unlike Kyrgios, Anna Horford is nonchalant about the team’s recent losses. She happens to be the sister of Al Horford, who played a huge role in guiding the team to the 2022 NBA finals.

She replied, “This. Not worried at all”, to a tweet that pointed out how the recent losses can actually benefit the team. The team can bounce back after this string of losses and this might give them much-needed momentum before the playoffs, according to the tweet by Marc D’Amico.

MVP candidate Jayson Tatum is one of the most in-form players in the league currently. The Celtics star is no 3 in the rankings currently and some fans strongly believe he should be the frontrunner to win the MVP award this time around. A few weeks ago, NBA fans on Twitter were enraged to see the 2023 All-Star MVP so low in the rankings.
