Boston Celtics reserve big man Luka Garza held a youth basketball camp in the state he played his NCAA basketball, the Celtics center putting together his second Luka Garza Academy skills camp of the summer in Indianola, Iowa. Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla paid a visit to the camp as well in one of his many stops to spend time with his players this offseason.
Garza shared some thoughts on why he continues to make time for the camps with local ABC station KCAU-TV Sioux City, saying that "Iowa just means an incredible amount to me and my family."
"I feel like my life changed when I came here and I was able to get to my dreams and goals because of the University of Iowa," he added.
"Because of what I was able to learn here, because of the way I was able to develop here and I think within that time, the people here that supported me, that put their arms around me and pushed me every single day," said the Celtics center.
"I always feel like I owe something to them. And so for me every summer is trying to come and give back a little bit because I know how much was given to me in my time here."
