The Celtics on Thursday announced that they have entered into an agreement to purchase their G League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws. The transaction has not been finalized, and still needs to be approved by the G League, but all indications are that the deal will be completed by this fall.
“Over the years, the G League and the Red Claws have become increasingly important to the Celtics and our player development efforts,’’ Celtics president Rich Gotham said in a statement. “We look forward to deepening both our ties with basketball operations and within the community, and further bringing the Celtics experience to fans in Maine.
