Ukrainian player of Boston Celtics Maxim Shulga He talked about the war in Ukraine and being abroad while his loved ones were at home.

– About Ukraine. These are difficult times. How proud is it for you to represent Ukraine?

– To be honest, I don’t think deeply about this issue. My job is to play, do my best and help the team win. There is responsibility, but I concentrate on the game.

– You always played outside Ukraine during the war. How do you cope with having a family at home?

“It was very difficult at first, worrying every day, worrying about people at home, family and friends. I communicate with them, find out how they are.

I almost never look at the internet because you can’t trust everything. I get information from my mother and father, I try to feel what they feel every day.

But I can’t live worrying all the time. There is a balance between paying attention to the situation at home but not letting it disrupt my thoughts and concentration. There is a lot of uncertainty and I hope everything will be resolved as soon as possible.

Max Shulga previously talked about his personal development and recalled how he was selected in the 2025 draft.
