Mountaineers in the Pros
Former Mountaineer Joe Mazzulla Returns to Celtics, Explains Reason for Absence
Anyone wondering why Boston Celtics interim head coach Joe Mazzulla hasn’t been on the sidelines for a couple games has their answer.
Mazzulla explained he was hit in the face during a pickup game before returning to his team on Sunday, a 123-111 loss in Denver against the Nuggets. The incident apparently occurred last Tuesday before Boston’s game against Houston. He suffered a corneal abrasion in both of his eyes. Assistant Damon Stoudamire led the Celtics to a pair of wins in Mazzulla’s absence over the Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers.

The former West Virginia guard who’s ascended the coaching ranks at only 34-years-old has been leading the Celtics all season after taking over the reigns following Ime Udoka’s suspension. Mazzulla has made sure the Eastern Conference defending champion Celtics haven’t missed a beat, guiding Boston to the NBA’s best record.
Mazzulla’s team will next travel to Oklahoma City to battle the Thunder on Tuesday night.
