Former Patriot Devin McCourty and longtime Patriots special teams ace Matthew Slater were at TD Garden for the Celtics’ Game 5 win against Miami on Thursday night.
McCourty joked that Slater had some extra time on his hands because the Patriots were docked a pair of organized team activities sessions earlier this week.
“Taking advantage of Slate’s extra days off LOL,” McCourty tweeted.
The Patriots were scheduled to have an OTA session on Thursday before the game, but announced that it was canceled.
According to Greg Bedard of Boston Sports Journal, special teams coach Joe Judge directed Patriots players to be at the club for longer than four hours, causing a rule violation.
