01The story of the nightWho Is Max ShulgaMax Shulga is a 24-year-old guard on the Celtics roster, wearing number 44.

Max Shulga is a 24-year-old guard on the Celtics roster, wearing number 44. He stands 6-4 and 210 pounds and played his college basketball at Virginia Commonwealth. He is entering his second NBA season, all of it so far with Boston. He is not a household name yet, but he is on the roster as camp begins and the front office kept him around after his rookie year.

02The 2025-26 LineShulga's rookie season numbers were thin.

Shulga's rookie season numbers were thin. He played 11 games for Boston, averaging 3.3 minutes, 0.6 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.2 assists. He shot 25.0 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from three, though he was perfect from the line at 100.0 percent on limited attempts. His true shooting mark was 39.4 percent with a 12.8 usage rate, and his plus-minus sat at -0.8. Those are last season's numbers, not this year's, and they reflect a player who barely cracked the rotation.
