The Celtics’ G League affiliate is reportedly hiring a former Celtics player as its new head coach.
According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, Phil Pressey will be named the next Maine Celtics head coach.
Pressey, 34, played in Boston for the first two seasons of his NBA career between 2013-15. The guard went on to play one more season, splitting the 2015-16 campaign between the 76ers and Suns. Pressey also played for several professional basketball teams overseas from 2017-22.
A quasi-local kid, he played two seasons of high school basketball at Waltham High and Cushing Academy in Ashburnham as a freshman and sophomore, respectively.
