There will be a lot of French people to follow during these summer leagues, and more particularly in Las Vegas, and we must add the name of Killian Tillie to the tricolor contingent since it is part of theCeltics roster. Having played for the Grizzlies, the former Gonzaga center has not appeared on an NBA court since… March 2022! The fault lies in a series of problems with a back operation, then an injury to the back of the thigh during a tryout with the Thunder, and finally an ankle injury at the start of training camp.
But there is no question of returning to Europe for the moment, as he explained last January. “My goal is to come back to the NBA. I know I have the level, the teams know I have the level. That's always my goal. After that, it's been a long time since I played. My only goal is to play again. I just want to go somewhere where I'll have minutes and I can regain confidence, have fun playing. And if the NBA doesn't work out, a return to Europe is of course possible.”
Joining him on the Boston team that will travel to Las Vegas are Neemias Queta, Jaden Springer, JD Davison and Ron Harper Jr.
