If you’re flashing back to the cat scene in the Matrix, fear not.
This is the very same Greg Monroe who joined the Celtics in the postseason in 2018. While Monroe was touted for his passing and scoring ability off the bench, he wasn’t exactly a second unit turbo boost. Monroe put up a respectable 10.2 PPG, 6.23 RB, 2.3 AST, and 1.1 ST on 19 MPG and better than 50% shooting.
Monroe should be available tonight, per CelticsBlog’s own Keith P. Smith.
Monroe is expected to be in uniform and available to play for tonight's game vs the San Antonio Spurs. https://t.co/islV8rm4ph
