There may not be any games for the Boston Celtics OR Maine Red Claws this week, but fan favorite two way center Tacko Fall is keeping busy just the same.
However, this week his work is on the sidelines instead of the court as he joins Chicago Bulls big man Lauri Markkanen and Toronto Raptors wing Pascal Siakam in helping coach the top international prospects at the sixth annual Basketball Without Borders (BWB) Global Camp.
Held in Chicago, Illinois during All-Star week, the camp runs for three days between Feb. 14 and 16, and will feature 64 girls and boys who are among the world’s top basketball prospects.
The trio of NBAers will be joined by former WNBA players Ashley Battle, Michele Van Gorp and Ebony Hoffman as coaches, and Chicago Bulls assistant coach Karen Stack Umlauf, Milwaukee Bucks assistant coaches Vin Baker, Josh Longstaff and Ben Sullivan, and Chicago Sky director of player development John Azzinaro will also serve in coaching roles.

Some of the activities the participants will engage in include 5-on-5 games, life skills seminars focusing on health, leadership and communication, movement efficiency, skill development stations, and shooting and skills competitions.
Attendees will also be present for the State Farm All-Star Saturday Night and the 69th NBA All-Star Game, and the BWB camp will be visited by members of all 30 NBA teams as they look to scout some of the world’s best prospects, coached in part by Boston’s Fall.
