Celtics Assistant Coach Walter McCarty Faces Larceny Charge
FRAMINGHAM (CBS) -- Assistant Boston Celtics coach Walter McCarty was in court Thursday on a larceny charge.
McCarty, a fan favorite during his playing time in Boston from 1997 to 2005, pleaded not guilty to larceny by check in Framingham District Court for an incident in Wayland.
"This matter stems from ordering some kitchen cabinets for a home that my family and I are building," McCarty said in a statement released by the team. "We hope to resolve the matter soon, but I simply cannot comment further while the case is pending."
He was released until a pretrial hearing scheduled for Dec. 11.
McCarty, who averaged 5.2 points over his 10-year NBA career, was added as a coach before the 2013 season.
