The Celtics signed Max Shulga to a two way deal, but will he play in the NBA?
In a season that will see the Celtics mostly looking to develop younger players in pace of their usual pursuit of postseason wins, we can expect to see at least some of the cohort of young prospects taken by Boston in the draft this summer. Given Hugo Gonzalez, the Celtics' No. 28 pick, will already be in competition for minutes not only with likely starters Payton Pritchard and Derrick White, new addition Anfernee Simons (if he isn't traded first), and fellow Summer Celtics Baylor Scheierman and Jordan Walsh, there may be little or even no run at the NBA level for Shulga.
The hosts of the CLNS Media "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk over how much we can expect the VCU alum to play in Maine. Check it out below!

Cincinnati Reds pitching depth tested as Nick Lodolo (finger blister) lands on IL
CHICAGO – The Cincinnati Reds won't push starter Nick Lodolo to try to pitch through a finger blister at the risk of making it worse with fewer than 50 games left in the season. Consequently, they'll push the limits of their pitching depth. Lodolo, who left his Aug. 4 start in the second inning because of a left index finger blister that developed suddenly on a breaking ball thrown to the Chicago Cubs' Justin Turner, landed on the 15-day injured list, as expected, Aug. 5. Reliever Yosver Zulueta was recalled from Triple-A Louisville to join the bullpen and take Lodolo's place on the roster. Nick Nick Martinez, who got seven outs in relief of Lodolo Aug. 4, likely will take the lefty Lodolo's spot in the rotation for his next turn, probably Aug. 9 in Pittsburgh. If there's a silver lining to the move for the Reds, it's that they might be better equipped to weather such a pitching storm than they were a week ago, after acquiring right-hander Zack Littell from Tampa Bay at the trade deadline. Little was scheduled to start against the Cubs Aug. 5. Lodolo, who has been the workhorse of the Reds' pitching staff this season, lands on the IL for the first time this season. He spent two weeks on the IL last season with a similar blister problem. This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Nick Lodolo injury: Reds LHP on IL as pitching depth tested
