BRIGHTON, MA — “I got a great invite. I got an email a couple of weeks back.”
Joe Mazzulla’s plan to surround the current Boston Celtics with former players took another step on Friday as Rajon Rondo was at the Auerbach Center for Celtics practice.
The former Celtics All-Star said he spoke to his ex-teammate Paul Pierce, who has been leading the charge for returning players.
“I talked to one of my old teammates, Mr. Pierce, and they told us we were welcome back,” Rondo said after Friday’s practice.
Pierce, who is always one for spectacles, made sure to let Rondo know as soon as possible.
