Two-way guard for the Celtics suspended following recent G-League accolade
During the NBA All-Star weekend, JD Davison, a guard with the Maine Celtics, received recognition for his impressive start to the G League season when he was selected for the G League Up Next game. It’s a good accolade for the second-year pro that Davison received, since he was one of 28 players to receive it.
However, it seems that there was some issues when Davison was suspended for breaking team rules by the Maine Celtics. Tuesday’s 111-103 victory over the Raptors 905 was lost by the squad without Davison. The duration and nature of the suspension remain unknown, although the 21-year-old guard is still hurt.
Davison was selected for the Up Next game because of his strong performance this season. In his second season as a professional, he is averaging 21.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game. In the 2022 draft, the Celtics selected Davison, an Alabama native, with the 53rd overall choice. He suit up for two games during the 2023–24 season after playing in 12 NBA games with the Cs the previous season.
Before the Celtics defeated the Pelicans on Monday, Joe Mazzulla, the coach of the C’s, talked about the honor for Davison going forward.
In Mazzulla’s opinion, “as long as he knows that’s not what gets him, as far as the Celtics go.” “As I mentioned, that’s a fantastic thing. That’s something you should strive for, but I just don’t want guys to feel like that defines them. Nevertheless, that’s a fantastic individual honor for him.
And that affirmation is fantastic because I’ve watched him develop as a player since he first arrived, particularly in terms of his defense and attitude to the game. But in the end, everything comes down to the inconstant little things, the defense, the reads, the execution, and the professionalism; it’s as though those things are given out over a longer time span. Thus, I’m hoping he has fun and comprehends the procedure at the same time.
