Nikola Vucevic hasn't been a member of the Boston Celtics for long, but the organization is doing what it can to make him feel welcome.
This week, Boston addeed a Montenegrin flag to the wall of its practice facility The Auerbach Center to acknowledge Vucevic's home country.

Vucevic had his best game in a Celtics uniform on Friday night against the Nets, dropping 28 points and 11 rebounds in what's being discussed as the most efficient offensive team performance in league history.
The two-time All-Star Vucevic arrived in Boston via trade on February 5. He's averaging 12.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists in eight games so far with the club in 24.3 minutes per contest.
Vucevic, 35, has instantly changed the dynamic of the Celtics' frontcourt depth, adding size and experience to a unit that has been mostly reliant on Neemias Queta's breakout season.
As Vucevic gets more and more comfortable in Joe Mazzulla's system, the Celtics will reap rewards, which bodes well for a playoff run.
