Overview
- The Celtics officially converted Carter’s Exhibit 10 training-camp deal into a two-way contract on Saturday, filling the team’s third two-way slot alongside Dillon Mitchell and Amari Williams.
- Carter’s two-way carries a reported $678,882 salary and makes him eligible for up to 50 regular-season games while he splits time between Boston and its G League affiliate.
- The move follows Carter’s lone preseason outing on October 8, when he scored 17 points with five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 25 minutes against Cleveland.
- Carter was the No. 13 pick in the 2024 draft, has appeared in 74 NBA games across two seasons and arrives with defensive tools the Celtics see as worth developing despite uneven early production.
- Team context: the two-way structure keeps Boston below the luxury-tax headroom by avoiding a full roster contract now and leaves the option to convert Carter to a standard deal later if performance and cap room allow.
