The Boston Celtics may be on a nine-game winning streak but they are out of luck in one sense of the word. Damon Blust, who played the mascot Lucky the Leprechaun, has left the team. On Thursday the Celtics issued the following statement:

“Damon Blust who played the role of “Lucky” the Celtics mascot is no longer employed by the team. We appreciate his many efforts in entertaining Celtics fans as well as his work in the community while a member of the Celtics organization.”

Blust recently appeared on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.”
