NBA Stars To Visit Lavietes Saturday for Charity Matchup

Last month, Boston Celtic Rajon Rondo made a special visit to Lavietes Pavilion (where former Celtics video coordinator Brian Adams now works as a Harvard men's basketball assistant coach).

This Saturday, Rondo will be returning to the Crimson's campus—and he'll be bringing along some friends. According to the Boston Globe, the former Kentucky star will be joined by teammate Paul Pierce, Kevin Durant, and Jeremy Lin '10 in the first-ever Boston Charity Classic Saturday at 6 p.m. at Lavietes Pavilion.

Proceeds will go towards local Boston charities for providing meals this holiday season.

The matchup continues a recent trend of NBA stars—who reportedly began seeking to decertify their union today—taking part in charity exhibition games, including one held at Penn's Palestra in late September. But student attendance at the latest example may be low, given that many will be traveling to New Haven, Conn., for The Game this weekend.
