Another coach is reportedly set to join the Celtics’ bench next season alongside Joe Mazzulla.
Duke assistant Amile Jefferson will be added to Mazulla’s staff in the same role he held with the Blue Devils, according to Travis Branham of 247 Sports. Boston Globe reporter Adam Himmelsbach confirmed the report as well.
Jefferson, 30, was an assistant at Duke for one season following a year as the team’s director of player development.
As a player, Jefferson briefly featured for the Celtics after signing an Exhibit 10 deal in Dec. 2020 before being waived later in the month.
