With the news right after the Boston Celtics were eliminated from the 2019 NBA Playoffs that assistant coach Micah Shrewsberry wouldn’t be returning to the sidelines in Boston, the Celtics have had a void in the coaching staff to fill. Shrewsberry had been with the Celtics for 6 seasons, and he was primarily focused on Boston’s defense (which ranked top-10 in both defensive rating and opponents’ points per game despite a tumultuous year).
To fill that void, head coach Brad Stevens appears to be shopping around for a new assistant.
