Kemba Walker shines in victory: 10 Takeaways from Celtics-Suns
Photo by Adam Glanzman/Getty Images1. We would be remiss if we started these Takeaways with anything but the tragic passing of Terrence Clarke. Clarke died in a car accident on Thursday in Los Angeles. He was there preparing for the 2021 NBA Draft, which he entered after one season at the University of Kentucky.
Clarke was a Boston kid through and through. He was born and raised in the city and was proud of his hometown. Many of members of the Celtics were friendly with Clarke. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum were often seen speaking with him after games. Brad Stevens said postgame that his son looked up to Clarke. Kemba Walker talked about his ever-present smile, work ethic and bright future.
