Austin Rivers won't play for Celtics tonight against his old team
The Jeff Green to the Grizzlies trade is now in the books.
It's official! Jeff Green to Memphis. #Celtics get another 1st round draft pick. http://t.co/noRxI90zfR #CelticsTalk

At least for the moment, Austin Rivers is a Celtic. The amusing part of that situation is that his former team, the Pelicans, is Boston's opponent tonight at the TD Garden. In case you're wondering, Rivers won't take the floor for the Celtics this evening against his former teammates--he never even made the trip to Boston.
Austin Rivers did not accompany Pelicans to Boston. He awaits news on completion of his trade from Celtics to father Doc and the Clippers.

If I had to guess I'd say chances are Rivers never puts on a Celtics uniform.
