Duke assistant coach and former Blue Devils teammate of Jayson Tatum Amile Jefferson is reportedly leaving his job on his alma mater’s bench to join that of the Boston Celtics under head coach Joe Mazzulla according to new reporting from 247 Sports’ Travis Branham.
Per Branham, Jefferson “is finalizing a multi-year deal” to join the Celtics’ bench after a swift rise through the coaching ranks at Duke. Jefferson had a four-year professional career as a player after his time with the Blue Devils in which he won a national title in 2015, one which briefly had him sign with the Celtics on an Exhibit-10 deal in 2020, though he never appeared in any games for Boston.
