Celtics Sign and Waive RJ Luis to Complete Roster Moves
The move reflects tax-minded roster management that channels the rookie into G League development.
Overview
- Boston re-signed RJ Luis to an Exhibit 10 deal and immediately placed him on waivers, positioning him to join the Maine Celtics.
- NBA.com’s log shows Hason Ward and Aaron Scott were also waived from Exhibit 10 contracts, with all three players expected to report to Maine.
- Luis becomes eligible for an Exhibit 10 bonus of up to $85,300 if he spends at least 60 days with the G League affiliate.
- The Celtics set their regular-season group at 14 standard contracts—12 fully guaranteed plus partial guarantees for Jordan Walsh and Neemias Queta—with all three two-way slots filled.
- Boston is not expected to sign a 15th standard player early in the season due to luxury-tax considerations, after previously waiving Luis to open a two-way for Ron Harper Jr. and acquiring him from Utah following the draft.
