Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge confirmed Thursday that Lonzo Ball's camp has informed the Celtics he will not work out for them prior to the NBA draft.
During his weekly appearance on Boston sports radio 98.5 the Sports Hub, Ainge said it's not an ideal situation with the Celtics eager to evaluate all top talent while owning the No. 1 pick but noted how the Celtics have drafted players that didn't work out for them in the past.
"We tried to get [Ball] in," Ainge told the "Toucher and Rich" program while Boston's front office staff traveled for a draft workout in New York that included Duke's Harry Giles and Kentucky's Malik Monk.
