Scotto reported last week that the Celtics are expected to name former NBA point guard Phil Pressey as the new coach of the Maine Celtics later this summer with Lashbrook moving to a new role.
Pressey has been a player enhancement coach in Boston for two years following the conclusion of his pro career. He played for two seasons in Boston under team president of basketball operations Brad Stevens at the start of his NBA career.
Lashbrook led the Maine Celtics to a 21-13 record in G-League play last year with several pro contributors spending time in Maine including Baylor Scheierman, JD Davison and Boston's two-way players. Maine advanced to the Conference Finals in the G-League playoffs before falling to the Osceola Magic on the road.

Encarnacion-Strand hits his 1st career grand slam to power Reds' rally to beat Red Sox 8-4
BOSTON (AP) — Christian Encarnacion-Strand hit his first career grand slam during a five-run seventh inning and the Cincinnati Reds rallied to beat the Boston Red Sox 8-4 on Wednesday night. Elly De La Cruz, TJ Friedl and Santiago Espinal added RBIs for the Reds. Nick Martinez (6-8) pitched 6 2/3 innings, yielding four runs off nine hits to help Cincinnati avoid being swept in the three-game interleague series. Wilyer Abreu hit a two-run home run for the Red Sox. Romy Gonzalez drove in two runs, including an RBI double in the seventh to pull Boston within 5-4. Brennan Bernardino opened for Boston, pitching 1 1/3 innings before handing off to Jorge Alcala and then Chris Murphy. That trio held Cincinnati to three hits and no runs over 5 2/3 innings before Greg Weissert took over. Weissert (2-3) got the final out of the sixth. But things fell apart in the seventh when Stephenson led off with a single, followed by Rece Hinds reaching on a fielder's choice and Gavin Lux walking to load the bases for Encarnacion-Strand. Weissert was pulled after surrendering five runs off four hits. Earlier Wednesday, Abreu hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth to help Boston earn a 5-3 win in the completion of a game suspended by rain on Tuesday. Abreu jumped on Martinez's changeup in the sixth, driving it over the right-field wall and into the Reds' bullpen beyond the reach of Hinds. It came after Hinds had made a catch against the same wall in the fifth, robbing Jarren Duran of an extra-base hit. Key stat Encarnacion-Strand's grand slam was Cincinnati's sixth of the season. Up next LHP Andrew Abbott (7-1, 1.79 ERA) will start for Cincinnati when it opens its three-game series at Philadelphia on Friday. RHP Lucas Giolito (4-1, 3.99) is scheduled to start for Boston at Washington. ___
