According to Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe, Jayson Tatum (Rookie of the Year), Kyrie Irving (Play of the Year), and Brad Stevens (Coach of the Year) will not attend Monday’s NBA Awards. Aron Baynes will represent the team and accept any awards on their behalf.
Also, finalists Jayson Tatum (rookie of year) and Kyrie Irving (play of year) aren’t expected to attend the NBA Awards. Was told that Aron Baynes will be there to represent the Celtics and accept any awards on their behalf. Not a move of a guy who expects to be elsewhere soon.
