Tacko Fall's future with the Celtics remains in doubt
Tacko Fall attracted plenty of coverage during his four seasons at UCF, although the towering center went undrafted in the 2019 Draft. Nevertheless, the Celtics signed Fall to their Summer League roster and the 23-year-old continues to fight for Boston's final roster spot ahead of the 2019-20 season.
Fall made his TD Garden debut in Boston’s preseason opener against the Charlotte Hornets last night, and while offering praise for the young center, head coach Brad Stevens refused to confirm whether the UCF product is part of his plans for the upcoming season:
I just hope people continue to appreciate him for what he is as a person and how hard he's working to try to make it to the NBA. Because he's a really good kid and he's really, really working hard, and I think he's going to be in the NBA for a long time.
In his eight minutes on the court, Fall managed five points, three rebounds, and two blocks. Nevertheless, Javonte Green and Carsen Edwards both enjoyed breakout performances, and Fall will have to perform well over the next 10 days to secure a place on Stevens' roster.
