Celtics Add Jalen Bridges for Two-Way Competition, Plan Kendall Brown Camp Deal

Boston is leaning on camp contracts to bolster wing shooting through its G League pipeline.

Overview

  • HoopsHype reports Boston has agreed to add 24-year-old Jalen Bridges, who will compete for a two-way spot after spending last season on a two-way deal with the Suns and appearing in eight NBA games.
  • Hoops Rumors says the Celtics also intend to sign Kendall Brown on an Exhibit 10 deal, setting up another bid for a two-way slot following his 2024–25 G League stint with Long Island.
  • Bridges posted 14.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals while shooting 38.6% from three in 31 G League games, plus 16.2 points on 39.7% from deep in the Tip-Off Tournament.
  • Boston’s current two-way slots are held by Max Shulga, Amari Williams and RJ Luis Jr., so Bridges and Brown would need a camp shakeout to secure a spot.
  • The additions reflect Boston’s search for versatile wing shooting to support Jaylen Brown after Jayson Tatum’s postseason Achilles injury.
