Celtics fan favorite Tacko Fall will be hanging around with the team through the first chunk of the season.
Boston signed the rookie to a two-way contract on Sunday. That means he will spend 45 days with the team's G-League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws, which confirmed him joining the team Sunday.
Fall, a 7-foot-5 center has become a favorite with Boston's fanbase after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent out of Central Florida. In the Celtics’ first preseason game against the Hornets last week, people in the stands were chanting at coach Brad Stevens to put Fall in.
In the fourth quarter, Fall got his time to shine and he finished the game with five points, three rebounds and two blocks.
During his summer league stint with the Celtics, the 23-year-old Senegal native averaged 7.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in five games.
