Boston Celtics honor Terrence Clarke with classy pregame tribute
Former Kentucky standout Terrence Clarke recently passed away at the age of 19 in a car accident. He was potentially going to be a Round 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and had just signed with an agency.
Clarke was a native of Boston, and the local pro sports teams have been paying tribute to him recently. The Boston Red Sox memorialized him during a home game at Fenway.
And, on Tuesday night, the Boston Celtics had a moment of silence and paid tribute to Clarke on the scoreboard before the game:

Clarke led Brewster Academy to the 2019 National Prep Championships and brought them back in the 2020 finals before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the rest of the event.
