One of those options is Josh Jackson, and after Boston made the big trade, it reportedly tried to set up a meeting with the former Kansas star. But that workout still hasn’t happened, sources told ESPN’s Dave McMenamin on Tuesday. Josh Jackson did not work out for the Celtics on Tues, multiple sources tell ESPN.

Rob Gronkowski, Camille Kostek Reportedly ‘Had a Fling’ But No Longer Are Dating
Share this: So what the heck is going on between former New England Patriots cheerleader Camille Kostek and tight end Rob Gronkowski?

But a TMZ Sports’ report Wednesday shed some new light on their relationship — or lack thereof. Multiple sources close to the injured tight end told TMZ Sports they’re “100 percent not dating, period.” “We’re told Rob and Camille “had a fling” a while back — but it was never anything official and Gronk has moved on,” TMZ Sports wrote.
