Hugo González Peña (Madrid, 2006) will be a Boston Celtics player for next season, as confirmed by Brad Stevens, president of operations of the green franchise. The Madrid native was selected in the 28th pick of the first round of the 2025 Draft at the Barclays Center in New York.
The pearl of the Madrid youth academy will change the white of Madrid for the green of Boston and the Movistar Arena for the TD Garden, one of the most emblematic pavilions of the competition. The forward could not be present at the Draft ceremony, because he was in Valencia where he was proclaimed League champion, hours before starting his journey in the NBA.
