Here's Why Malcolm Brogdon is Reportedly 'Angry' With Boston Celtics
This summer, the Boston Celtics nearly dealt Malcolm Brogdon to the Los Angeles Clippers in order to acquire Kristaps Porzingis from the Washington Wizards. The Clippers ultimately backed out of the proposed three-way trade due to concerns about Brogdon’s elbow injury.
According to The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn, Brodgon is upset with Boston’s front office over the attempted move.
“Malcolm (Brogdon) is the one I’m concerned about, too, because we’ve heard nothing,” Washburn said. “And he’s angry with the team. So, I don’t think communication between the two sides has been fruitful.”
Washburn speculated that Brogdon might retaliate against the organization by delaying his recovery process.
“So he could just say, 'Listen, man, I’m not, I’m getting no surgery. I’m just gonna let this heal, and you’ve just got to wait for me to let it heal'. It could be somewhat of a protest for being on the trade block or some I don’t know, but you would think that that wouldn’t be the case. But we’ll see October 2... October 3, when their first practices is, who’s actually on the floor.”
