Boston’s Malcolm Brogdon explains why he wanted out of the Indiana Pacers

Boston Celtics reserve point guard Malcolm Brogdon spoke after the team’s practice on Wednesday afternoon about fitting in on the Celtics and how it compares to the Indiana Pacers (his last team) as well as the change from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Pacers.

The Virginia product is embracing his new role as a second unit point guard, continuing to get to know fellow Boston floor general Marcus Smart while he is emphasizing spacing and movement within the offense. Brogdon said last season, as the Pacers started the onerous process of rebuilding, that he decided he wanted to play for a contender.

To their credit (and Boston’s gain), Indiana helped him do so by eventually landing Brogdon on the Celtics via trade at the start of the 2022 NBA offseason.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what Brogdon had to say after practice today in full.
