Boston Celtics rookie point guard Carsen Edwards continued to turn around his early-season funk with the maine Red Claws Sunday.
Playing with Boston’s G League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws, the Purdue product logged 23 points on 8-of-16 shooting, looking more like the sharpshooting energy scorer the Celtics drafted than he has since Boston’s preseason.
Edwards got a little extra run with two way guard Tremont Waters up with the parent club to help cover for starting Celtics floor general Kemba Walker missing time due to a sore knee, and the Houston native got a chance to try out his own chops as a one as a result.
Evidently it suited him.
Two way teammate Tacko Fall only played 15 minutes due to foul trouble, but managed to record 9 points, 7 rebounds and a block over the stretch.
The Red Claws came away with a 108-107 win over the College Park Skyhawks (the G League affiliate of the Washington Wizards), their eighth victory in nine games.
