Celtics Re-Sign Amari Williams to Two-Way Contract
The move keeps a 6-foot-11 developmental center on a low-cost deal to preserve Boston’s roster flexibility for future moves.
Overview
- The Celtics declined Amari Williams’ team option and then reached a new agreement to bring him back on a two-way contract, a transaction reported late Monday by multiple NBA insiders.
- Williams is a 6-foot-11 project who was the 46th pick in the 2025 draft and appeared in 22 games as a rookie, averaging 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in limited minutes.
- Boston also exercised team options for Neemias Queta, Jordan Walsh and Dalano Banton the same day, securing several young, controllable roster pieces.
- A two-way contract lets the Celtics keep Williams in their system without using a full NBA roster spot and gives the team the option to split his time with the Maine Celtics for development.
- By preserving low-cost depth in the frontcourt, the move maintains short-term cover for center minutes and adds flexibility for the front office if it seeks larger roster changes later this summer.
