Maine Red Claws Sign Three Year Extension With Boston Celtics
The Maine Red Claws announced the extension of their affiliation with the Boston Celtics through 2018.
According to the Bangor Daily News, the Maine Red Claws will remain the Boston Celtics only minor league affiliate for at least the next 3 seasons. In a press release, Celtics President of Basketball Operations noted, "we couldn't be more excited to continue our relationship with Bill Ryan and Red Claws".
The Red Claws have been a developing ground for several players in their short existence already. Marcus Smart, James Young, Tim Frazier and Chris Babb are just some of the most notable stars to have worn a Red Claws jersey. It's not just players either, Scott Morrison, hired to coach the team last season, won the D-League Coach of the Year award.
This coming season will be the Maine Red Claws 7th season in Portland. Their 2015-2016 schedule is expected to be announced in the coming weeks with the first game tipping off at the Portland Expo in November.
