Another Boston Celtics alumnus has found a home coaching as Celtics draftee Chauncey Billups has been hired as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Clippers, per Yahoo Sports’ Dan Feldman.
He was hired by another Celtic alumnus in former Boston assistant Tyronn Lue after he was elevated to head coach of the Clippers upon the previous head coach Doc Rivers stepping down in that capacity.
Rivers, himself a Celtics alumnus, almost immediately found a new home as head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, taking over the post vacated by Brett Brown after Philly’s first-round exit at the hands of Boston.

At the same time all of this is occurring, it is unclear what the status of yet another Celtic alumnus still with Los Angeles after Rivers’ departure is Sam Cassell.
The former Celtic guard who won a title with Rivers in Boston in 2008 is one of several candidates for the Houston’ Rockets head coaching vacancy.
