Brad Stevens: “narrative that [Ainge] was forced out is absolutely not true”

Former Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge took a position with the Utah Jazz yesterday. His title will be “alternate governor and SEO” and after just a few months of retirement, Ainge is back in the game in a new city.

Almost immediately after the reports came out, speculation started flying. A quote from Ainge saying that he “needed a break from Boston” took off and with it, another rumor saying he was forced out did as well.

Current Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens took a few moments to quell some of those rumors this morning when he hopped on 98.
