The race for assistants continues to be in full swing in the NBA, and especially in Boston. After the arrivals of Charles Lee and Sam Cassell at the Celtics, it’s Phil Pressey who is about to join the staff of Joe Mazzulla. A staff plucked by Ime Udoka, new coach of the Rockets, who brought with him several of his former assistants.
Phil Pressey knows home well as he played for the Celtics from 2013 to 2015 in a rotational role, at just under 15 minutes per game in 125 games played.
This playmaker, son of Paul Pressey, then passed through Philadelphia (14 games) and Phoenix (9 games) in 2015/16 before starting a career in Europe. We saw him in Barcelona, Besiktas, Estudiantes and then Oldenburg from 2020 to 2022 before retiring as a professional player.
At only 32 years old, his conversion will have been dazzling since after spending a year at the University of Missouri, where he had played for three years from 2010 to 2013, he was propelled to assistant in the NBA within a contender for the title. THE Boston Globe clarified that a new assistant should be named in the coming weeks on the Boston side.
