On Tuesday, the Boston Celtics made the move to bring back MSU basketball legend and former center Xavier Tillman on a two-year deal, a move which will help keep their championship team intact moving forward.
After the signing, Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens spoke very highly of Tillman and what he brings to the team, as reported by Chris Forsberg of NBCS Boston:
“When we got Xavier at the trade deadline, he came with the reputation of a winner and great teammate,” said Brad Stevens. “Xavier is a hard-worker who brings grit, toughness, and a team-first mentality that we appreciate. We are excited that Xavier has chosen to come back to the Celtics.”
