Oshae Brissett and Ed Sheeran celebrated Celtics’ Game 2 win together in the North End
Brissett played 12 key minutes to help Boston take a 2-0 series lead, and was seen with the international pop star after the win.
Oshae Brissett had his most meaningful game of the postseason in the Celtics’ Game 2 win over the Indiana Pacers. Afterward, he made a stop in the North End and met up with pop star Ed Sheeran.
Sheeran was in Boston for Boston Calling, and sat courtside at the Celtics matchup on Thursday night. His stop following the win was to Strega North End.
Strega posted two photos of Sheeran at the steakhouse, including one of him chatting with Brissett, with a caption reading “Our longtime friend Ed Sheeran dropped in post Celtics win last night and enjoyed all his Strega North End favorites! … Celtics #12 Oshae Brissett dropping by too.”
Along with celebrating a win on Thursday night, Sheeran was apparently also reminiscing about being Strega owner Nick Varano in an arm wrestling contest; an achievement he has a trophy for. He showed off that trophy in the Instagram post.
Sheeran was on team Celtics while in Boston, holding a foam finger at one point and chatting with different Celtics players before the game. Sheeran was a headline performer on Friday night of Boston Calling.
As for Brissett, he was key when the Celtics played a small lineup for a stretch of Game 2. He played 12 minutes, and may be set for a similar role in Saturday’s Game 3. Brissett’s usage came once Luke Kornet went down with an injury, and Kornet was ruled out of Game 3.
Boston has a chance to take a commanding 3-0 series lead on Saturday night in Indiana, against a Pacers team without its top star, Tyrese Haliburton.
