    You might think that reserve Boston Celtics combo guard Payton Pritchard would be taking it easy after helping his team hang an NBA-record 18th banner this summer. But the Oregon native has been doing the opposite, squeezing in runs before getting hitched with much of the Banner 18 squad in attendance this week.

    And it is not just this year’s Celtics alumni who showed up. Several former members of the team who have since found new homes or retired from the game were there as well. At the top of the former list is former Boston big man Blake Griffin, who added a humorous inflection to PP’s big day as he officiated the wedding.

    “At no point tonight am I allowed to do my impersonation of Payton,” said Griffin to more than a few chuckles in a video posted by star Celtics forward Jaylen Brown to social media.

    Congrats to Pritchard and his new wife, Instagram influencer Emma MacDonald.
