Boston Celtics championship-winning head coach Joe Mazzulla is set to undergo surgery for a torn meniscus that has been affecting him since March. Despite the injury, Mazzulla led his team to victory in the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, securing the championship in five games.
In a recent interview on the “Pardon My Take” podcast on June 19, Mazzulla shared insights into the challenges presented by his knee injury and how it helped him maintain focus during the games.

However, his passion for basketball and JiuJitsu is likely to drive him towards a speedy recovery post-surgery.
