Report: Boston Celtics big man alum Mike Muscala to join Phoenix Suns as assistant coach
Muscala played 11 seasons in the league after being drafted out of Bucknell in 2013, playing for the Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers, and the Oklahoma City Thunder before he was dealt to the Celtics in 2023. His stay with the team was a short one, with the St. Louis Park, Minnesota native dealt to the Washington Wizards by Boston in the offseason of that same year.
The former Celtics center also suited up for the Detroit Pistons before finishing his playing career with the Thunder to finish out the 2023-24 regular season.

Who is RJ Luis Jr., and why did the Boston Celtics trade for him?
Who is RJ Luis Jr., and why did the Boston Celtics trade for him? The Celtics elected to send vet reserve forward Georges Niang into the Utah Jazz cap space along with a pair of second round draft picks last week, taking back only the undrafted two way wing in the deal in order to make it the minimum trade requirements in the NBA's collective bargaining agreement. In so doing, the front office also created a bit of a log jam with their own two way players, eventually deciding to cut ties with more veteran two way forward Miles Norris with No. 57 2025 draft pick Max Shulga also signed to a two way deal and No. 46 2025 draft pick Amari Williams yet to sign any deal with Boston. The folks behind the "NESN" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Hold My Banner" podcast that takes a closer look at the trade for Luis Jr. Check it out below!

Neemias Queta wants to boost free throw attempts with Boston Celtics, develop 3-pointer
When it comes to potential goals for Boston Celtics big man Neemias Queta in a season his role is set to explode from former levels playing for the team off the bench as a deep rotation options, you probably did not have boosting his free throw rate at the top of your list. But the Portuguese center is hoping to do exactly that, according to the man himself in a recent interview with CLNS Media reporter Bobby Manning. To be fair, it also was not at the top of Queta's list of goals for the coming season, either, when he was asked what he can do better. "I think it's making sure I get in great shape," said Queta. "Go out there and make elite decisions with the ball in my hands and making sure I get great finishes this year." "I also want to raise up my free throw attempts this year," he added. "I just want to be aggressive and make sure I get my percentage up on the free throw line, too." Less surprisingly, the Celtic center also wants to work on his shot from beyond the arc. "I think I always work on the 3s no matter what," said Queta. "You never know when you need one of them and like even if I'm not a great shooter off of the 3-point line, if I'm open, and I have got to shoot it, I will shoot it confidently. You never know it. I want to make them." Listen to "Havlicek Stole the Pod" on: Spotify: iTunes: YouTube:
