BOSTON (CBS) — Tacko Fall is back with the Boston Celtics. And the Maine Red Claws.
The giant fan favorite has reportedly agreed to a two-way contract with the Celtics, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. Fall will once again split his time between Boston and Portland during the upcoming season, though he’s probably hoping to get a little more run with the C’s.
