Vincent Poirier will miss at least the Celtics’ next two games, but not because of an injury.
Poirier left the NBA’s bubble in Orlando in order to attend the birth of his daughter, Nola, on Thursday.
“Happiest man on earth right now … Welcome To the world Nola,” Poirier wrote in a tweet with a heart emoji announcing the birth of his daughter.
