The Boston Celtics assigned rookie Dwight Powell to the Maine Red Claws of the NBA Development League on Sunday.

Powell, the 45th pick in June's draft, has not played through six games with Boston. He did dress for the first time during Saturday's win over the Bulls.

The Red Claws don't open their 2014-15 season until Nov. 14, but have an intrasquad scrimmage on Sunday night that Powell will participate in.

Powell is the first Celtics player to be assigned to Maine this season.

Update: Powell scored a game-high 29 points in the scrimmage. According to a release from the Red Claws, "The 6-foot-11 big man threw down a couple dazzling dunks, scoring 19 in the second half and was a perfect 11-for-11 from the free throw line."
