Evan Turner joined the Boston Celtics as an assistant coach for the 2020-21 NBA season, but he hasn't yet made an appearance at C's camp.
“He’ll start some time shortly. But he hasn’t been here yet," Brad Stevens said Thursday about Turner's absence. Stevens previously stated Turner wouldn't be joining the team for a couple of weeks.

Turner's response was even better. “don’t do that, I’m working remotely ??” he wrote.
