Tacko Fall, Tremont Waters to re-join the Red Claws in the G League

The two Celtics rookies will be available to play for the Maine Red Claws on Saturday night against the Grand Rapids Drive.

Boston Celtics two-way rookies Tacko Fall and Tremont Waters will each be with the Maine Red Claws on Saturday night, according to Chris Grenham of Forbes.

With the Celtics set to host the New Orleans Pelicans, head coach Brad Stevens told reporters on Saturday morning that the Fall and Waters will be sent to the G League ahead of a matchup against the Grand Rapids Drive.

Fall recently logged a season-high 10 minutes with the Celtics on Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. After the Celtics faced an early deficit, Stevens decided to change things up and sub Fall into the game in the second quarter. Fall recorded four points, three rebounds and one steal.

Waters is coming off of a 30-point performance in a 120-118 triple-overtime win over the Capital City Go-Go on Thursday night. That performance was his second 30-point effort of the season after recording a season-high 33 points on Nov. 27 against the Greensboro Swarm.

Fall and Waters have been among the standouts this season in the G League and are a big reason why the Red Claws are in second place in the Eastern Conference at 14-6 this season.
