According to Mannix, the former Celtics staffer turned down the chance to wear green again, preferring to stay in LA.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Tuesday that the Celtics were asking permission from the Clippers to interview their former assistant coach.
Larranaga spent nine years in Boston before joining the Clippers in 2021.
The Celtics will enter the 2023 NBA season with the NBA’s youngest head coach as 34-year-old Joe Mazzulla takes the helm of the franchise in the wake of the season-long suspension of Ime Udoka.
