Report: Boston Celtics asst. coach, ex-player Phil Pressey to helm Maine Celtics for '25-26
The Boston Celtics reportedly have themselves a new head coach for their affiliate developmental ball club in the NBA's G League, per HoopsHype's Michael Scotto. Per the HoopsHype reporter, former player and current Celtics player enhancement coach Phil Pressey will become the Maine Celtics next head coach for the looming 2025-26 G League regular season.
The onetime Boston floor general has most recently been an assistant with his former team since 2023, and played for the club as a player between 2013 and 2015, the Celtics being his first stop in the league after a collegiate career with the University of Missouri.
The Dallas, Texas native also suited up for the Maine Celtics as a player back when they were still known as the Red Claws in 2015 for a single season, and served as an assistant coach for his NCAA alma mater before starting his NBA coaching career with Boston.
