Ex-Celtics Fan Favorite Joins Jaylen Brown on 76ers Roster
Philadelphia's frontcourt just got a lot bigger.
The Philadelphia 76ers have bolstered their roster by signing three players, including 7-6 center Tacko Fall, a former Boston Celtics fan favorite. Fall, who went undrafted after four seasons at UCF, was given a Summer League opportunity by the Celtics and later earned a two-way contract. Throughout his two-season stint with the Celtics, Fall appeared in 26 NBA games, earning him a fan favorite status due to the enthusiastic chants and applause he received when he entered the game.
Fall's return to the NBA comes after he played for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2021-22 season. However, his opportunity to join the 76ers' final roster remains uncertain as the team seeks additional depth at the center position.
