[Chef Parish]

Is going to recover from his foot injury? The Celtics could really use him for depth this year.

Lets get Jurassic Acie Earl instead.  He did have 40 points in a game once.

Probably at the same pace you recover from your brain injury  JK

I was hoping the body would read ..."was nervous?"

I used to joke about him being "out of service"

On a serious note, here is an article from Celticslife a couple of years ago.

http://www.celticslife.com/2015/01/what-hell-happened-topervis-ellison.html

So whatever happened to Pervis?  First off he needs to be commended for his charitable deeds including providing five full scholarships worth $4,800 apiece so disadvantaged youth can attend the school known as the New Beginnings Academy- affectionately known as the "NBA."

Even more recently of note is that Pervis is the coach at Life Center in Voohrees, NJ where he coaches his son Malik Ellison.  Malik is currently a senior with some offers from Minnesota, Maryland and Penn State.  Here's some Malik highlights if you're interested too.

Really good guy, just dealt with a lot of injuries - it's too bad he was never able to reach his full potential.

This subject makes me extremely nervous.

Remember when he was named Tri-Captain!

Remember when he was named Tri-Captain!

While looking at this I realized that 2015 was the first time the Celtics didn't name a captain since 1950. Wow.

Proably would have been Avery for his longevity.

I'd guess IT now.

Pervis Ellison played for the Celtics from 1994 to 2000.

According to his wikipedia page, in his last 3 seasons, he played in 69 out of a possible 246 games.

For you youngsters out there, his most notorious injury was a broken toe suffered while moving furniture.

Those were some dark days.
