Even though they looked to send him to the Clippers at the end of June, the Celtics are keen to Malcolm Brogdon. This is what the Boston Globe this Friday. Certainly, the best sixth man of the year has still not appeared in training with his teammates, and he has not spoken since his aborted transfer, but that does not mean that he is leaving.
Marcus Smart left for the Grizzlies, and not replaced, the Celtics will need Malcolm Brogdon more, and the latter will be one of the big beneficiaries of the departure of the former best defender in the NBA. On condition that he is 100% because the daily reminds that Brogdon injured his elbow, and that he did not have an operation.
This is what could explain his absence during these summer sessions, and nothing says that he will be operational for the resumption of training. See you on October 2 for the “media day” to find out more about the player’s state of mind, and his state of health, but also to find out the attitude of the managers on his situation. For now, they have skillfully avoided broaching the subject, and as Joe Mazzulla explained, the most important thing is to put the pieces back together.
