Payton Pritchard proposed to Emma MacDonald in the offseason

Payton Pritchard’s offseason was eventful, to say the least. The backup point guard’s role with the Boston Celtics looked uncertain due to the presence of reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year winner Malcolm Brogdon. Pritchard’s minutes dropped with his new teammate playing superbly well.

The Celtics, however, made big changes in the offseason. They traded longtime former captain Marcus Smart and Brogdon in separate deals. Boston also showed their faith in the former Oregon superstar when they signed him to a four-year $30 million contract extension.

Off the court, Pritchard was an even bigger winner. He proposed to Emma MacDonald on a scenic Cape Cod beach. MacDonald went on Instagram to share the moment and captioned it with:

“A love for a lifetime.”

Pritchard is playing a key role for the Boston Celtics again. He is averaging 6.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. His shooting and hustle, despite being undersized, have endeared him to fans.

On Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers, he came off the bench to help the Celtics eke out a 125-119 win. “Fast PP” finished with 10 points on 3-7 shooting, including 2-6 from behind the arc.
