Boston Celtics two-way rookie Tacko Fall logged just over two minutes on Saturday night but the 7-foot-5 center once again was greeted with a warm welcome in his latest NBA appearance.
With the Celtics sporting a hefty 110-89 lead over the Philadelphia 76ers, head coach Brad Stevens emptied his bench and subbed Fall into the game to the delight of the home crowd.
Fall finished with two points in 2:32 of action as the Celtics defeated the Sixers for the first time this season, 116-95. The appearance by Fall was just his fifth of the season and first since Jan. 8 against the San Antonio Spurs.
