Evan Turner is returning to the Celtics as an assistant coach
Really liked watching Evan Turner play for the Celtics. Wasn't the greatest shooter to fit the modern game, but had those sneaky Paul Pierce-esque moves he could pull off. Was sad to see him go, but the money that the Blazers offered was a no brainer. Turner now reunites with Brad Stevens and should give the team a veteran voice they will respect and listen to.10-year NBA veteran Evan Turner is finalizing a deal to join the Boston Celtics as an assistant coach, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Turner is expected to focus on player development.
