Former LSU star Tremont Waters is currently in Las Vegas with his new Boston Celtics teammates after they made him a second-round pick last month.

He’ll likely be taking an extended leave from basketball after he got the tragic news that his father was reportedly found dead in a Connecticut hotel on Thursday.
