Jrue Holiday, Boston Celtics player, spoke about the new head coach of the Charlotte Hornets, Charles Lee.
Charles Lee has worked as an assistant coach for the past 10 seasons, and he has already collaborated with Jrue Holiday, with whom he won the title in 2021 with the Milwaukee Bucks. Besides the Bucks, Lee has also served as an assistant coach for the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics, which helped him earn the head coaching position with the Hornets.
“I was really happy. Sad to see him go but extremely happy. He deserves it and been with him for a minute now. To see him as a head coach and to beat him every time we play him, it’s going to be great…obviously we’ve been through a lot together, so to see even before when there was kind of a chance for him to be a head coach and him not get it. But to see it now and I think the timing might be right. You’re just happy for your guy,” Holiday said.
Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed that Charles Lee will stay with the Boston Celtics until the end of this year’s playoffs.
The Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers are playing the Eastern Conference semifinals series, and the current score is 1-1. The next game will be played on Sunday morning starting at 02:30.
