Joe Mazzulla, the head coach of the Boston Celtics and a championship-winning coach, will undergo surgery for a torn meniscus. Despite dealing with the injury since March, Mazzulla led his team to victory in the NBA Finals over the Dallas Mavericks, securing a championship in five games.
In a recent appearance on the “Pardon My Take” podcast on Wednesday (June 19), Mazzulla discussed the Celtics’ path to their 18th championship. Before delving into the final details of the victory, he talked about his struggle with his knee injury and how it helped him sharpen his focus on the sidelines.
Mazzulla is an avid practitioner of Brazilian JiuJitsu, a passion that is currently on hold due to his injury requiring treatment and surgery. Despite this setback, his love for basketball and JiuJitsu will surely drive him to recover from surgery as quickly as possible.
