BOSTON — The Boston Celtics acknowledged the victims of this week’s mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, before their home opener.
Boston players wore the warmups of their NBA G League affiliate, the Maine Celtics. The Celtics also donned a band on their jerseys in honor of the state as it recovers after a shooter killed 18 people and wounded 13 at a bowling alley and a bar there.
The jersey band simply read “Maine” and was placed above their Vistaprint-sponsored logo patch.
Fans also observed a pregame moment of silence while a green and white image of the outline of the state was displayed on the jumbotron.
The shooting suspect was found dead Friday after a two-day search.
