Joins Celtics' Starting Unit in Unexpected Game 7 Lineup Shift

Baylor Scheierman received a surprise start for the Boston Celtics in Sunday's Game 7 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Scheierman was part of a trio of unconventional starters, including Luka Garza and Ron Harper, who had combined for only 29 starts all season. Coach Joe Mazzulla's decision to lean on the reserve forward in a season-defining elimination game drew significant attention as the Celtics struggled to find rhythm and were ultimately bounced from the playoffs.
