“I’m excited for him to have an opportunity in Dallas, doing what he does best and I wish him nothing but the best,” shared the Celtics coach. “There were a lot of relationships that I had as an assistant coach, and he was a guy that I was able to get really close with over my few years here.”
“(I am) grateful for who he is as a person and I’m excited for him as a player,” added Mazzulla.
