Stashed Boston Celtics guard Juhann Begarin gets 28 points, 5 boards in season debut vs. AS Monaco
Stashed Boston Celtics guard prospect Juhann Begarin had quite the season debut after missing his team’s first four games due to a shoulder injury.
In a 95-91 loss to AS Monaco, the Les Abymes, Guadeloupe native led Paris Basketball with 28 points, 5 rebounds, an assist and 3 steals in 32 minutes of play. He committed three fouls and one turnover in the French LNB Pro A game.
The Celtics’ No. 45 pick of the 2021 draft had an especially efficient night from the field. Begarin shot 10-of-16 from the field, 8-of-12 from 2-point range, 2-of-4 from beyond the arc and 6-of-6 from the charity stripe in the loss.
“We all witnessed it (Sunday), Juhann Begarin is an NBA player. He can make an impact in Boston,” said Paris Basketball head coach Will Weaver via Eurohoops’ Johnny Askounis. “We missed him a lot to start the season.”
