TORONTO — Luka Garza was the blur on Beale Street.

It was his first time repping the green and white. The Boston Celtics were visiting the Memphis Grizzlies for their preseason opener. And as soon as he stepped onto the court, he was a wrecking ball.

On his first-ever Celtics possession, he screened for Jaylen Brown off the ball, re-screened to give him space to pull up, and then dove to the rim for an offensive rebound that never came.
