Morning Sports Update: Brad Stevens says he’s hopeful Jared Sullinger’s departure will benefit him
Good morning, sports fans.
The Red Sox win, Jared Sullinger will enter unrestricted free agency, and Sox prospect Yoan Moncada wins the MVP award of the All-Star Futures Game.
Brad Stevens says he’s hopeful Jared Sullinger’s departure will benefit him: “Obviously when we got Al, that made us make hard decisions. And the thing that stinks about that is having to move on and move forward, both for him and us. But he’ll do great. Jared’s one of the more talented guys being able to get the ball off the glass, and he’s got beautiful touch and he’s a good guy, and so I think he’ll do well. I’m hopeful this move will benefit him as well, and I think it will.” (The Boston Globe)
