Tacko Fall tallied his fifth double-double in the G League on Friday

The 7-foot-5 center finished with his fifth double-double of the season on Friday in his first start with the Maine Red Claws.

Boston Celtics two-way rookie Tacko Fall recorded 12 points and 16 rebounds on Friday night with the Maine Red Claws for his fifth double-double of the season.

Fall re-joined the Red Claws in the G League after a brief stint with the Celtics as the 7-foot-5 center also added five blocked shots in the 117-116 loss to the Capital City Go-Go. Fall finished by shooting 5-of-5 from the field in 23 minutes during his first start of the season.

Although the Red Claws lost, Fall once again proved to be dominant down in the paint. The Go-Go had no answers for his size and physicality near the basket and Fall had his way as a result.

After his performance on Friday, Fall is now averaging 13.4 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in nine games played. He is fourth in the G League in blocks and 13th in rebounds.

Next up for the Red Claws: A home matchup on Sunday vs. the College Park Skyhawks.
