On his way to gym before the Celtics hosted the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, head coach Brad Stevens made a phone call.
“I called Frank Vogel,” Stevens told the media on Friday.
Why Frank Vogel?
Vogel was the head coach of the Indiana Pacers when Paul George broke his leg in a 2014 Team USA scrimmage. Because of an awkward landing at the foot of the basket stanchion, George’s lower right leg snapped as he fell to the floor. As a result, the forward missed all but six games of the 2014-2015 NBA season.
