Danny Ainge addressed his health, Kyrie Irving, and the Celtics’ offseason

Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge addressed the media for the first time since suffering a heart attack during the team’s playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks in early May.

He spoke on a range of topics, including the status of his health in the aftermath of the heart attack, as well as team-related topics heading into what he called an “A to Z offseason.”

Asked initially about how he’s recovering from the May 3rd heart attack, Ainge was upbeat, even making a joking reference to former teammate Bill Walton.

“Yeah I mean I’m eating more plants, and not the kind of plants in Walton’s garden by the way,” Ainge said.
