Celtics Sign Ron Harper Jr. to Two-Way Contract

The move uses an open two-way slot created by Boston's waiver of RJ Luis Jr.

Overview

  • Harper's agreement was reported Thursday by his agent to ESPN's Shams Charania.
  • The 6-foot-6 wing earned the deal from a camp tryout after 32 preseason minutes and a 3-for-7 mark from three.
  • Boston had familiarity with Harper from prior stints on its Summer League team and with the Maine Celtics in the G League.
  • Two-way status typically places a player in the G League with eligibility for up to 50 NBA games, and last season the Celtics' two-ways combined for 44 appearances with JD Davison later promoted.
  • The Celtics currently carry 14 standard contracts and are expected to keep the 15th roster spot open entering the season.
