Luka Garza details life-threatening surgery and decision to join Celtics | View From The Rafters
Luka Garza grew up an East Coast guy, and after eight years in the Midwest, is excited to be back after signing with the Boston Celtics this past offseason.

52 points against Michigan. My son and I will never forget this guy. Nice to root FOR him now.
52 points ag Michigan, 5 points with Celtics avery day. 😅😅
He’s got a lot going for him…he can shoot, good passer, but at center, he’s too small and not that athletic.
I love how he plays… high skill, IQ & effort. I’m glad he’s a Celtic ☘️
It's been fun to watch Luka on the court and look forward to see his role grow.
