Los Angeles Clippers assistant Jay Larranaga reportedly declines opportunity to return to the Boston Celtics

It appears the Boston Celtics will not have a reunion with Los Angeles Clippers assistant head coach Jay Larranaga. The former Celtics assistant turned down a chance to return to his former team to help interim head coach Joe Mazzulla in the wake of the Ime Udoka scandal, according to reporting by Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated.

Per Mannix, Larranaga “will remain on (Los Angeles head coach) Ty Lue’s staff with the Clippers.” The former Celtics assistant reportedly prefers to remain with his current team, which is one of the NBA’s 2023 title favorites.

Boston had received permission from the Clippers to speak to Larranaga about a potential return, but instead finds itself needing to look elsewhere to provide Mazzulla some help.
