The 2020–21 NBA season was the Celtics' 75th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the regular season for the league began on December 22, 2020 and featured a 72-game schedule rather than the typical 82-game schedule.[1] The Celtics finished the regular season with a 36–36 record, and clinched a playoff spot after defeating the Washington Wizards with a score of 118–110 in the play-in tournament.[2]

In the opening round of the playoffs, the Celtics were defeated by the Brooklyn Nets in five games.[3] Following the season, Danny Ainge retired from his position as general manager, and named head coach Brad Stevens as his replacement.[4]
