Another alumnus of the Boston Celtics seems poised to join the ranks of those on the other side of the clipboard, with onetime Boston wing Ricky Davis reportedly expected to be hired as the next head coach for the boys’ basketball team at Minneapolis North, per Chris Long of KSTP-TV Sports.
The Iowa product will lead the Minneapolis high school squad for his first foray into the field after retiring from the game as a player after being released by the (then) Erie BayHawks (now, Lakeland Magic) D League (as the G League was called in that era) team in 2016.
Davis played for the Celtics between 2003 and 2006 after being traded there with Chris Mihm, Michael Stewart, and draft assets for Tony Battie, Eric Williams, and Kedrick Brown.
He was a popular player with fans until he was dealt with Mark Blount, Marcus Banks, Justin Reed, and draft considerations for Wally Szczerbiak, Michael Olowokandi, Dwayne Jones, and a pick in 2006.
