As interim head coach Joe Mazzulla considers the possibility of adding to his staff, one former Boston assistant will not be returning to the Celtics’ sidelines.
According to SI’s Chris Mannix, Jay Larranaga, who was briefly linked to a reunion with the Celtics earlier this week, will remain in his current role as an assistant with the Los Angeles Clippers.
The news came less than two days after ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Celtics had sought permission from the Clippers to interview Larranaga.
Larranaga, 47, spent nine years as an assistant with the Celtics between 2012 and 2021.
