Overview
- The Celtics agreed to sign Devin Carter to a training-camp Exhibit 10 deal, with multiple outlets reporting the move on Monday and local reporting specifying Exhibit 10 terms.
- Atlanta waived Carter after acquiring him from Sacramento and will still pay about $5.16 million of his 2026–27 guarantee, which makes Boston’s pickup cheap in salary terms.
- Carter is a 2024 No. 13 overall pick who averaged 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 38 games last season and who draws praise for on-ball defense and rebounding but has below-average three-point shooting and durability questions.
- He will report to training camp, which opens Sept. 28, and compete for Boston’s final standard roster spot or the team’s remaining two-way slot against other Exhibit 10 hopefuls and two-way candidates.
- The move fits Boston’s recent development-first approach of converting low-cost camp signings into useful depth players, a path the team has used successfully with other camp arrivals.
