Ahead of their important first In-Season Tournament game on Friday, the Celtics drew attention to an issue just as important off of the court.
Prior to the game, the Celtics wore shirts that read “Raise the Age.” These shirts were meant to raise awareness for Massachusetts’ “Raise the Age” bill, which aims to prosecute 18-20 year-olds under the juvenile system.
“Before we tip off tonight, I want to bring attention to a bill of legislation that we, the Celtics, are advocating for,” wing Jaylen Brown told a packed TD Garden on Friday night.
