LAS VEGAS — The Celtics unexpectedly added Charles Bassey to their Summer League roster as the big man had some banner games. But he’s no longer on the C’s roster, per the team. His deal was to only play for three games in Las Vegas as he had other commitments for the summer.
Following his ejection, the forward apologized to Celtics GM Brad Stevens for getting tossed. Joe Mazzulla loves that kind of fire, and he made sure that Walsh knew that. Still, he understands that he can't be getting tossed from games. That hurts his team when he's not out there.
Bazley left Thursday's Summer League game against the Celtics with an apparent right leg injury Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports. Bazley went down hard on a drive to the bucket and appeared to be in considerable pain while being taken off the floor in a wheelchair.
Even before the Celtics officially opened Summer League practices, the team’s young guys went to the Auerbach Center to get their workouts in. Some of the main NBA guys were there, too, but the younger guys have also been working on their games throughout the offseason.
Former OKC Thunder forward Darius Bazley suffered a "heartbreaking" injury with the Los Angeles Lakers in Las Vegas Summer League.
