CELTICS NOTEBOOK Sundov seals return Backup center exercises option By Shira Springer, Globe Staff, 6/17/2003 Even though Bruno Sundov received scant playing time this past season, the 7-foot-2-inch center knew as the playoffs approached that he wanted to return to the Celtics for a second year. Yesterday, Sundov made it official by exercising his player option for the 2003-04 campaign. Sundov, who appeared in 26 games, averaging 1.2 points and 1.1 rebounds in 5.3 minutes, will be paid approximately $750,000. A primary reason Sundov decided to stay was his familiarity with the Celtics' system. He did not want to face the prospect of learning a new one with a new team. Sundov originally signed with the Celtics as a free agent July 19, 2002. Summer schedule The schedule for the Reebok Pro Summer League at UMass-Boston was announced yesterday. On opening night, July 14, the Celtics will play at 8 p.m. against the Cavaliers, who are expected to feature high school phenom LeBron James, the impending No. 1 choice in the NBA draft. Tickets go on sale June 26 at 10 a.m. for the Summer League, which runs from July 14-20, with all games at the Clark Athletic Center. Tickets are available at the FleetCenter box office, online at www.celtics.com, or by calling 1-800-4NBA-TIX. There is a four-ticket limit per person for all evening sessions on the first day of sale. There will be afternoon and evening doubleheaders Monday through Thursday (July 14-17), then afternoon doubleheaders and evening tripleheaders on Friday and Saturday (July 18-19). The league concludes with four games on Sunday, July 20. After taking on Cleveland, Boston returns to action July 16 against NBA champion San Antonio. The Celtics also will face the Knicks, 76ers, Hawks, and Nets during the seven-day competition . . . The Celtics were saddened by the loss of longtime stat crew member Stan Muir, who died Sunday. --
