MIAMI (AP) -Ray Allen says it was a difficult decision to leave his ailing 2-year-old son and join the Boston Celtics for the start of their four-game road trip.
Allen was in the Celtics’ starting lineup Sunday night for their game in Miami, one day after missing practice. Walker Allen, who has diabetes, was in and out of the hospital over the Thanksgiving holiday.
Allen said his son cried upon learning that his father was leaving, but noted the boy stopped when told that the Celtics’ game would be on television.
Walker Allen was diagnosed with diabetes during the 2008 NBA finals, which the Celtics won.
