A Boston Celtics legend will function one in every of three “siren sounders” for Tuesday’s sport between the Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena.
We’re speaking, in fact, however the legendary Rasheed Wallace.
The University of North Carolina product will be a part of Panthers stars Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey in firing up Hurricanes earlier than Game three of the Eastern Conference Final. No phrase but on how the Celtics really feel about this act of betrayal.
Wallace averaged 9.Zero factors, 4.1 rebounds and 1.Zero assists per sport in 2009-10, his solely season with the Celtics. He then retired for 2 years earlier than returning to play for the New York Knicks within the 2012-13 marketing campaign, his final within the NBA.
The large man by no means performed for the Charlotte Hornets, Bobcats, nor Hornets-reincarnate. The Philadelphia native performed two seasons at UNC, sufficient to make him an icon within the Carolina sports activities scene, apparently.
Game three between the Bruins and Hurricanes will begin at eight p.m. ET. The Bruins maintain a 2-Zero edge within the best-of-seven sequence.
