Former Boston Celtics Player Signs With New Team
Tacko Fall most recently played in the NBA during the 2021-22 season when he was with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
That year, Fall averaged 1.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per contest in 11 games (one start).
Most recently, Fall has been playing overseas in the CBA.
In 34 games this season, the 28-year-old averaged 9.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per contest while shooting 74.2% from the field.
Earlier this week, Piratas de Quebradillas, a team in Puerto Rico, announced that they had signed Fall (h/t RealGM).
Via Their Instagram Post (translated to English): "The additions for the new season are our two new reinforcements, centre back Tacko Fall and keeper Emmanuel Mudiay. Fall will become the tallest center in league history at 7’6 and has experience with the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers."
Fall played his college basketball for UCF, and during his senior season, he averaged 11.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per contest while shooting 74.8% from the field.
He went undrafted and spent the first two seasons of his NBA career playing for the Boston Celtics (before joining the Cavs in 2020-21).
Over 37 NBA games, Fall had career averages of 2.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per contest while shooting 67.3% from the field.
He also appeared in three NBA playoff games with Boston.
Arguably, the best tenure of his pro career came when he played in four G League Showcase Cup games during the 2021-22 season and averaged 23.3 points, 12.5 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per contest while shooting 76.0% from the field.
