Marcus Smart Suffers Gruesome Hand Injury During Summer League Game

Mickey was one of the standouts of the Celtics’ summer league circuit, starting all eight games for Boston and averaging 12.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per contest. According to the source, the second-round pick’s deal will contain two guaranteed years at about $2.4 million with team options for the following seasons.

With the Celtcs, Mickey will earn the contract of a first-round selection.

“I’m not really rushing anything as we’ve still got the whole summer”.

“I’m comfortable”, said Mickey. He can guard 4’s.

“When you first hear screams, it’s not always the best feeling in the world”.

The Celtics on Monday signed second-round draft pick Jordan Mickey.

Saturday’s National Basteball Association Summer League quarterfinals game between the San Antonio Spurs and Boston Celtics featured a wild ending, with two rookies hitting clutch shots. The 21-year-old Mickey will compete for playing time against Boston’s other forwards Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk as well as newcomers Amir Johnson and David Lee.

Meanwhile, Smart’s teammates James Young and Terry Rozier told Mass Live that Smart is a tough guy and that he will get better. Otherwise, the C’s would have to start considering trades involving a member of last year’s core.
