The 24-year-old has spent a lot of time in Maine.
He is averaging 20.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.8 steals per contest while shooting 41.9% from the field and 40.4% from the three-point range in 11 regular season games.
Since the Celtics have one of the best rosters in the NBA, Scheierman will likely continue to move back and forth between Maine and Boston.
