Here's some troubling news out of Washington:
Boston Celtics president Red Auerbach has been hospitalized in Washington with an undisclosed problem.The 87-year-old coaching great has been in and out of the hospital the past month for tests and a successful surgical procedure, Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss said Thursday. Twiss would not identify the procedure and said Auerbach was readmitted for an unspecified problem within the last 10 days.
He would not disclose the name of the hospital and said Auerbach's family requested that no information be released about his condition.
One note about Auerbach: even though he's been with the Celtics since 1950, he's always maintained a home here in the Washington area, and basketball insiders around town adore him -- as well they should. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
