Austin Ainge, one of Danny Ainge’s sons, sent a moving tweet on Thursday after his father suffered a heart attack.
Austin, who is the Boston Celtics’ Director of Player Personnel, said thank you to all those who helped care for his father.
In the wee hours at the hospital, after learning my dad was ok, I was brought to tears thinking of how many people went above and beyond to help my dad &family. The medical staff and Celtics family did so much to help and make sure he was ok. We are so very grateful. Thank you!

The Celtics announced on Thursday morning that Danny suffered a mild heart attack on Tuesday in Milwaukee. They say he is expected to make a full recovery.
The 60-year-old GM has actually suffered a mild heart attack twice in his life now, with the other coming in 2009. A former NBA player and head coach, Ainge has been working in the Celtics’ front office since 2003.
Boston is tied 1-1 in their Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Bucks. They swept the Pacers in the first round.
