Avery Bradley Assigned to D-League by Celtics

Filed under: Celtics, NBA D-League, Maine Red Claws

The Boston Celtics will assign rookie Avery Bradley to their D-League affiliate Maine Red Claws on Friday -- barring injury -- after appearing in just 14 games with the Celtics thus far this season.

Bradley, a 6-foot-2 point guard out of Texas, is shooting just 27 percent from the field in his limited stints of NBA action.

Celtics head coach Doc Rivers told CSN Northeast that Bradley's assignment will be less for development but more so he can get into some sort of rhythm with regular minutes.

"So he can get some reps, playing basketball," Rivers said. "He needs to play basketball. Especially in the stretch where we didn't practice at all."
