Doc Rivers believes that the Celtics have at least one more run in them and he decided to return. Apparently, so does Ray Allen who just excercised his player option to stay in Boston.
Ray Allen has exercised his option to remain with the Boston Celtics next season.
The decision announced by the team on Tuesday means the Big Three of Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett will be together for one more season. Garnett has one year left on his contract and Pierce has three years remaining.
Coach Doc Rivers will be around for five more seasons, having agreed to a new contract after the Celtics were eliminated by the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
