Possibly no G League play for Celtics affiliate Red Claws

That's the word from The Athletic's Jared Weiss. The NBA has yet to decide how to handle the G League season in the face of the COVID pandemic.

The Celtics are opting out of the NBA’s preliminary plans for a G-League bubble, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA.

One week of "bubble play" in Atlanta is a current option, but Danny Ainge may take the safer route of not choosing to send any two-way or G League guys out of the New England environment.Adam Silver may opt to allow for expanded team rosters to allow coaches to get a more-complete view of their new additions.
