BOSTON – Miles above the Northern California terrain, Danny Ainge processed some upsetting news.
With Celtics Assistant GM Mike Zarren and head coach Brad Stevens on board, Ainge and the Celtics’ top brass had been informed by Josh Jackson’s camp that the workout they were flying coast to coast for had been abruptly cancelled.
In the precious hours in draft week, the team had wasted an entire day for nothing. No face time, no workout, nothing.
"They just decided to cancel it as we flew. As Brad and I and Mike Zarren flew cross country," Ainge told reporters in his post-draft press conference.
