With the recent signing of Svi Mykhailiuk, the Celtics now have 14 players under contract. There is therefore still a place to be taken. Could she be for Blake Griffin ?
A month ago, it seemed possible, according to Marc Stein. Except that the Boston Globe now announces that the Celtics are in no hurry to find the last player in their squad and therefore could wait a bit.
Our colleagues thus explain that a return from the inside, which evolved in Boston last season, seems unlikely. The former Clippers had averaged 4.1 points and 3.8 rebounds in the 2022/23 fiscal year, with some interesting performances and a welcome presence in the locker room, but with the arrival of Kristaps Porzingisthe possibilities will be reduced for him in the racket.
In addition to the former Mavericks and Knicks, there is always Robert WilliamsIII, Al Horford And Luke Kornet. That’s a lot of people and Blake Griffin (34) would then have no assurance of having playing time. Especially since he has clearly been losing momentum for two seasons and is visibly thinking about retirement…
