Evan Fournier Cleared To Make Celtics Debut by Luke Adams
Newly-acquired Celtics shooting guard Evan Fournier has been cleared to play for his new team after having his debut delayed by the NBA’s health and safety protocols over the weekend, the club announced today (via Twitter). Fournier will be available on Monday vs. New Orleans.
Players are typically held in the protocols for one week when they’ve been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, and at least two weeks when they test positive themselves. The fact that Fournier was cleared so quickly suggests neither of those scenarios apply to him.
Fournier has averaged a career-high 19.7 PPG and 3.7 APG on .461/.388/.797 shooting in 26 games (30.3 MPG) so far this season. The Magic sent him to Boston last Thursday in a trade that netted them a pair of second-round picks and a $17MM+ trade exception.
Fournier will get the opportunity to inject some added scoring and play-making into Boston’s offense and to make a case for a longer-term deal with the club. The 28-year-old is on track to become an unrestricted free agent at season’s end.
Monday night will also be the first time that the Celtics host fans in TD Garden this season, having been approved to fill the arena to 12% of its overall capacity.

We had a restaurant when I was a kid you might walk in and place an order, and then they would come tell you they're sorry they can't serve you, the owners too drunk to cook But it was worth coming back for

Jeff Teague To Sign With Bucksby Dana GauruderFree agent point guard Jeff Teague will sign with the Bucks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN tweets. Teague was waived by the Magic over the weekend after they acquired him as a salary throw-in to complete the Evan Fournier trade with the Celtics. Teague, 32, signed a one-year deal with Boston during the offseason. He appeared in 34 games, including five starts, and averaged 6.9 PPG and 2.1 APG in 18.1 MPG while shooting 41.5% from the field. With Milwaukee, he’ll add some depth at the point behind Jrue Holiday. The Bucks have an open roster spot for Teague. They were seeking to fortify their guard depth after trading reserve point guard D.J. Augustin to Houston in the deal that brought veteran forward P.J. Tucker to Milwaukee. Teague will reunite with former Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer.

are we all aware that he has played his best basketball under Buddenholzer?? This is a fked move. This will be interesting since many here thought that Teague signing was not good. If he torches us then what can we assume if anything?
