Nikola Vucevic gets standing ovation before making Celtics debut
Boston fans gave veteran center Nikola Vucevic a warm welcome during the Celtics’ matchup against the Miami Heat on Friday night.
Vucevic saw his six-year stint with the Chicago Bulls come to an end this week. The Celtics made the move to acquire him ahead of the trade deadline, getting the experienced center in exchange for Anfernee Simons.
Vucevic will provide high-quality rebounding and a solid offensive game that will benefit the Celtics’ attack for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. He made his debut midway through the first quarter, getting a positive reception from the attending fans in TD Garden.
