The Boston Celtics reportedly have two former NBA head coaches in their sights as potential additions to Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla’s staff for the 2023-24 season according to HoopsHype’s Mike Scotto. Per Scotto, the Celtics are “a team to monitor for Vogel, along with former Rockets coach Stephen Silas, who’s also drawn interest from several NBA teams.”
The Celtics’ cohort of assistants has been devastated by departures to other franchises during the last couple of offseasons. Most recently, assistant Damon Stoudamire left to coach Georgia Tech. It makes sense Boston is looking to add some championship caliber help to the Celtics organization.
Earlier this season, Silas was seen at a practice session at Auerbach Center, prompting speculation that the son of former Celtic Paul Silas might be joining the team’s coaching ranks as an assistant.

Scotto also reports Celtics assistants Aaron Miles and Ben Sullivan could be in the running to join new Houston Rockets and ex-Boston head coach Ime Udoka’s staff next season, adding urgency to a search if that pans out.
