The team announced Tuesday that beloved icon Tommy Heinsohn had died. The former player/coach and longtime broadcaster was 86 years old.
Celtics head coach Stevens took to Twitter in wake of the news with a simple yet heartfelt message, highlighting Heinsohn’s lasting impact on the team.
“Rest In Peace, Tommy,” Stevens wrote. “You have meant so much to the six decades of Celtics’ fans that you shared the game with as a HOFer in every facet… An Incredible person, teammate and mentor.”
