On Monday evening, the Boston Celtics defeated the Atlanta Hawks (in Georiga) by a score of 123-93.

Baylor Scheierman had three rebounds in eight minutes of playing time.

After the victory, the Celtics announced that they have assigned him to the Maine Celtics (G League).

Scheierman was the 30th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, so he will likely spend a lot of time in the G League this season.

Many fans reacted to the announcement.

The Celtics improved to 7-1 in their first eight games of the new season with the victory over Atlanta.

They will now return home to host Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday evening in Boston.

All-Star forward Jaylen Brown has missed each of the previous two games, but they have been able to win both (against the Hornets and Hawks).
