Ex-Celtics forward Malik Fitts on his time with Boston, Joe Mazzulla’s elevation to coach

The master of bench celebration had plenty to say about his former ball club in a win over the Mexico City Capitanes on Sunday.

Though his time with the Boston Celtics was not long, Celtics fan favorite forward Malik Fitts cherishes his time playing with the team in the 2021-22 season. The Celtics Wire caught up with Fitts after his current squad, the Ontario Clippers (the G League affiliate of the Los Angeles team of the same name), beat the Mexico City Capitanes 103-96 on the road.

Still visibly exhausted from the win, Fitts made a point of noting how the elevation of Arena de Mexico at 7,350 feet impact his and the Clippers’ game against the Capitanes, requiring considerable effort to pull out the victory.

“It’s a tough slog here because of the elevation,” admitted Fitts. “It’s actually my first time in Mexico.”
