The Boston Celtics wrapped up their regular season schedule Tuesday night with a come-from-behind victory over the Washington Wizards. The win was led by the likes of two-way players PJ Dozier and RJ Hunter.
After posting 17 points in his 45th career NBA game, Hunter spoke about how grateful he was for the opportunity to play, no matter the situation.
Unfortunately for him, two-way players in the NBA are not eligible for the postseason, so Tuesday marked the end of his 2018-19 season. Well, sort of.
Even though he isn’t on the playoff roster, Hunter told reporters he’s still going to show support for his teammates in the postseason, including the road games.
“I’m already scouting Airbnb’s in Indiana,” he said. “I’m settling my travel and everything. These guys have been great welcoming me in the locker room, so I’m trying to show my support.”
When asked if he’ll be able to travel with the team, Hunter said he doesn’t fully know how the two-way rules work.
“Two-way, the rules are very weird,” he said. “It’s very new and the rules are sketchy. Last year I don’t think I was able to travel. … I’m just going to keep doing that unless I’m told otherwise.”
Either way, a nice gesture of support from Hunter, who is clearly grateful for his opportunity with Boston.
