Missouri basketball alum Phil Pressey named head coach of NBA G League's Maine Celtics
Phil Pressey is moving up the coaching ranks. The former Missouri basketball star and graduate assistant was officially named the head coach of Maine Celtics, the G League affiliate of the Boston Celtics, on Wednesday, July 2, per a news release from the team. Advertisement 'I'd like to thank (Boston Celtics general manager) Brad Stevens, (Boston head coach) Joe Mazzulla and the entire Celtics organization for believing in me and giving me a chance to grow, lead, and develop,' Pressey said in a news release. 'I'm grateful for the opportunity and I will give my all to this team. The community of Portland is amazing, and I remember my time as a player was unforgettable at the Expo. My goal is to instill winning habits into every player who suits up for the Maine Celtics.' Pressey, 34, has spent significant time with the Celtics organization over the past 12 years. He signed as an undrafted free agent with Boston in 2013 and went on to make 125 appearances for the Celtics over the next two seasons. He also appeared for the then-Maine Red Claws — now the Maine Celtics — in some G League appearances as a player. Advertisement After spending a season as a graduate assistant on Mizzou head coach Dennis Gates' first staff in 2022-23, he was hired as an assistant coach for the Boston Celtics in June 2023. In his first season as an assistant, the Celtics went on to beat the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 NBA Finals. 'Phil is a dedicated coach who has been instrumental in our player development over the last two seasons,' Mazzulla said in a news release. 'I am looking forward to seeing him grow as a coach and leader. He shows great energy and a willingness to learn. His personality and communication will be a gift to his players.' Missouri's Phil Pressey, 1, drives the ball during the team's first practice in the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN, on Wednesday, March 13, 2013. Pressey spent three seasons as a player with Mizzou from 2010-13. The former point guard still holds Mizzou's career (580), season (240) and single-game (19) assists records. He is tied with Anthony Peeler for Mizzou's career-steals record (196).

Tamar Bates signed a two-way contract with the Denver Nuggets and their G League affiliate, the Grand Rapids Gold. Caleb Grill signed as an undrafted free agent with the Chicago Bulls and will be competing for a spot on either that roster or on their G League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls.

Celtics predicted to land Cooper Flagg in NBA-altering decision
Cooper Flagg grew up in Maine. He was a Boston Celtics fan. And so, although Flagg is currently the No. 1 overall pick with the Dallas Mavericks, there will be rumblings all the time about Flagg ending up back in New England to play for the Celtics. Advertisement Sports analyst, and noted Celtics fan Bill Simmons, believes that it'll happen. Specifically, Simmons predicts in 2031, Flagg will join the Celtics. MORE: A major update in LeBron James' trade talks from Lakers If Flagg lives up to the hype, he'll be a top-10 player in the league within a few years. And then if he's that good, a departure for the Celtics in his eventual free agency would be one of the league's biggest stories in years. No need to get too far ahead of ourselves, but yeah, Flagg to the Celtics would be quite the pairing. MORE NBA NEWS:

Cooper Flagg's competitive drive a reminder of youth days working on a Maine farm
Years before signing a rookie contract with the Dallas Mavericks, netting him $13.8 million in the first year alone, Cooper Flagg had a more menial job. He was a pea picker on the Thunder Road Farm in Corinna, Maine. Flagg was 11 years old when he, his fraternal twin brother Ace and his older brother Hunter were hired. The pay was $1 for every pound collected. Advertisement Like everything else the boys did, it turned into a competition. 'Cooper the pea picker was very competitive,' Kelly Flagg, the boys' mother, told The Athletic. 'He wanted to make more money than his brothers. They only picked for about three hours in the morning before it got too hot. He was very aggressive.' The first week, Cooper cleared $100. Charlie and Barb Peavey, who own Thunder Road Farm, weren't sure if they could afford him. 'A lot of kids come on the farm and think it's going to be easy. They fool around and talk; Cooper never did that,' said Barb Peavey, whose son, Kellen, played basketball with the Flagg brothers when they were younger. 'Cooper was very focused on what he was doing. … He put his nose to the grindstone. He picked and worked.' Besides peas, the Peaveys grew strawberries, red potatoes, cucumbers, corn and pumpkins. Every summer, they hired between 15 and 20 youngsters from central Maine as crop pickers. Harvesting peas required Flagg to sit on a five-gallon bucket during his morning shift. 'It helps with your work ethic,' Cooper Flagg said. 'It helps you teach early about having a job. It was always fun to make a little money and hang out with your friends.' Now 18, Flagg is one of the most well-rounded prospects to enter the NBA in recent memory. The Mavericks landed a 6-foot-8 forward who can pass, shoot, dribble and defend. According to one catch-all metric, box plus/minus, Flagg, while at Duke, had the most impactful freshman season of any NCAA men's basketball player in the past 15 years aside from Zion Williamson and Anthony Davis. As much as Flagg's numbers popped, his intangibles excited the Mavericks more than anything. Flagg badly wants to win — even at something as trivial as pea picking. 'When people talk about him, they don't talk about basketball with him,' Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison said. 'They talk about all the intangibles. When you have a player who's that good and they talk about the intangibles, that's a guy who's going to add to your culture.' Advertisement Flagg did his first year of high school in Maine and then attended Montverde Academy, a prep school and basketball powerhouse in Florida, for two years. In August 2023, he reclassified so he could play college ball a year early. When he made that decision, he was following one of the Flagg family mantras: If you're the best player in the gym, find a new gym. Most nights, Flagg looked like the best player in the gym, even when he was the youngest player on the floor. On Jan. 11, three weeks after his 18th birthday, Flagg had 42 points, seven assists and six rebounds in Duke's 86-78 win against Notre Dame. Throughout the 2024-25 season, the Blue Devils were one of the best teams in college basketball. They went 19-1 in Atlantic Coast Conference play and ultimately advanced to the NCAA Final Four. Flagg has become a teenage millionaire; despite that status, he remains grounded. The week before the NBA Draft, he traveled to Dallas for a two-day visit. He made the trip alone. He didn't need handlers or an entourage accompanying him. Flagg went through an on-court workout and then got two different steak dinners: one with members of the Mavericks' front office and another with his future teammates. 'We're very proud of him. We're proud of the family,' Peavey said. 'We're proud that he's stayed so humble and he's just kept those Maine roots alive.' In a June 27 news conference with Dallas local media, Mavericks coach Jason Kidd talked about deploying Flagg at lead guard and on the wing. Kidd sounded impressed with the way Flagg was handling the hoopla. 'Just sitting here listening to him, isn't it incredible?' Kidd said. 'We are talking about an 18-year-old who has all the right answers.' Flagg will suit up for the Mavericks this week during NBA Summer League. Their first game is Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Advertisement This fall, Flagg will make his NBA debut. Around that same time, the Peaveys plan on opening their Thunder Road Farm corn maze to the public for the 21st consecutive year. This year's maze will be Cooper Flagg-themed. An aerial view will show the Newport, Maine, native dunking a basketball. Flagg's nickname, 'The Maine Event,' will be cut into the crops, as well. Flagg has gone from pea picking to finding a place in the NBA as the No. 1 draft pick. His mother sees the same competitive person now as she did back then. 'I think it's exactly who he is as a person,' Kelly said. 'It doesn't matter whether it's pea picking or anything else. He can turn it into a competition.'
