Overview
- The Celtics announced on Wednesday that they signed Dillon Mitchell, their No. 40 pick in the 2026 draft, to a two-way contract that officially brings him onto Boston’s roster.
- Mitchell boosted his stock with Las Vegas Summer League play, including a 24-point, eight-rebound, six-steal game and averages that showed his defensive upside.
- Under the two-way deal Mitchell will split time with the Maine Celtics in the G League and can appear in no more than 50 NBA games while on that contract.
- The signing removes the immediate possibility of Mitchell returning to college under a Colorado preliminary injunction that the NCAA is appealing and that still leaves eligibility rules unsettled for other players.
- For Boston the move uses a two-way slot and narrows its roster picture, leaving one standard spot and one two-way spot open and preserving roster flexibility for development and future moves.
