Kadeem Allen was ‘very solid’ in first NBA start

Kadeem Allen reached a milestone in his young pro career Tuesday, making his first career NBA start.

The former Arizona Wildcat had two points and two assists along with a steal, block, and rebound in 23 minutes as the Celtics’ six-game winning streak was snapped by the Milwaukee Bucks.

“I thought he was very solid,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens said after the game (via Celtics Wire).

Allen was filing in for Kyrie Irving, Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, and Shane Larkin who are all sidelined with injuries.
