Celtics reserve Jay Scrubb suffered a torn right ACL during practice on Saturday, the team’s PR department tweets.
Scrubb, a second-round pick in 2020, signed a two-way contract with Boston in mid-July after a strong Summer League showing. He averaged 16.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in those four games.
A 23-year-old guard, Scrubb finished last season with the Magic after signing a two-way contract in late March. He was waived in June.
Scrubb appeared in two games for Orlando late in the season, but spent most of his time in the G League. He averaged 22.2 points for the Lakeland Magic over 28 games, including 25 starts.
He previously played for the Clippers, appearing in a total 22 NBA games over two seasons.
Must of missed conditioning.Hate that injury.
Same reason boxers’ noses break. Lack of conditioning.
Oh man! Just terrible, so sorry Jay Scrubb. Making a living with your body. Hope he gets paid.
It’s the new age Celtics with Brad Stevens. He will not get paid
The Boston Small Forwards will be okay. Best of wishes to scrubb
Tough break for Jay. It is gonna be a tough road back. Gonna miss the whole year. Then has to try and get signed again. Might have to prove his way back to a two-way contract.
