Overview

  • Boston released guard JD Davison on July 24, ending his nonguaranteed $2.27 million option for the 2025-26 season
  • The waiver pushes the Celtics back under the NBA’s luxury-tax second apron and creates one open roster spot
  • Davison’s contract had been upgraded from a two-way deal to a standard NBA agreement in April with a team option exercised in June
  • After earning G LeG League MVP honors with Maine by averaging 25.6 points and 7.7 assists, he appeared in just 36 games for Boston over three seasons
  • A league source says Davison is expected to compete for a standard or two-way contract with another NBA team
