WAKEFIELD — The Celtics and Bulls won’t be the only teams playing basketball on Sunday.
For those without tickets to Game 4 of the NBA Eastern Conference quarterfinals, the Wakefield Police unions will play a charity basketball game against the All Pro Patriots Celebrity Basketball Team at 1 p.m. on Sunday at the Charbonneau Field House at Wakefield Memorial High School.
The game will benefit the charities operated by the Wakefield Police associations.
The Wakefield Police All Stars, featuring members of the Wakefield Police Patrolmans’ Association and the Superior Officers’ Association, will square off against a team consisting of current and retired New England Patriots players.
Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door. All proceeds go to a charitable fund run by the Wakefield Police Associations. The fund in turn makes donations to charities like The Boys & Girls Club, local youth sports programs, local scholarship foundations and the American Cancer Society.
