It's the first game Mazzulla has missed since assuming the interim head coach position this season. He has been successful thus far in the role, leading the C's to a league-best 24-10 record.
Stoudamire was hired to Ime Udoka's coaching staff last season. He spent the previous 10 years as a coach in the college ranks before joining the C's bench.
