Former teammate Kendrick Perkins is furious with Brian Scalabrine for allegedly not inviting the big man to the Boston Celtics’ victory celebration last week. Scalabrine, who was one of the former Celtics from the 2008 championship squad, said on his SiriusXM Radio show, The Starting Lineup, that the organisation does not welcome Perkins back like it does other former players.
When asked if Perkins was there, Scalabrine said, “No, no, no, no, no, no, no.” “Large red letter. With Kendrick Perkins, things aren’t quite friendly.

That is the year 2024. Give those guys their chance.”
