Jeff Green has said that the Boston Celtics are in good shape heading into the NBA pre-season.

The team, who finished seventh in the Eastern Conference last season, opened their training camp at the start of this week.

The forward told the team's website: "We're in shape. I think that's a good start. I think our strength and conditioning guys did a great job training us for what's to come in pre-season and the whole pre-season [schedule].

"The coaches put us in the position we're in now, and that's being in good shape until the season starts."

The Celtics play the Toronto Raptors on Monday.
