The Boston Celtics have now filled two of their three two-way roster spots. Before re-signing JD Davison, they retained Drew Peterson, moves that match the theme of the offseason for the defending NBA champions.
The theme of this offseason for the Celtics is continuity. From the results, capturing Banner 18 in Boston and reaching the G League Finals in Maine to team chemistry and a work environment theyto his third two-way deal with the franchise. Following the draft's conclusion, the Celtics' president of basketball operations, Brad Stevens,, "JD will be a free agent, but we very much like to try to figure out a way to get him back in capacity.
Davison appeared in eight games with the parent club in the 2023-24 campaign. He also starred in the G League, where he averaged 22.7 points, 8.4 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. That earned him a spot on the All-NBA G League Third Team. On Monday at the Auerbach Center, Celtics' assistant general manager Austin Ainge expressed, "JD came out very young in the draft, and the last two years in Maine, he's improved and improved, and we've loved his trajectory and think he still has room to grow. He's younger than the guys we just drafted and a lot of other guys that were drafted, and think he still has some growth. So, we're very optimistic.
