Overview

  • Max Shulga and RJ Luis Jr. now occupy two of Boston’s three two-way roster spots after Shulga signed in late July and Luis arrived via the Georges Niang trade.
  • On August 10 the Celtics officially waived two-way player Miles Norris to clear the third slot for a rookie signing.
  • Boston’s 46th overall pick, Amari Williams, is expected to fill the open two-way spot once his contract is finalized.
  • Two-way contracts let players split time between the NBA and G League without counting against the salary cap or luxury-tax apron.
  • Through draft-night maneuvers and trades, Boston has maintained developmental flexibility while staying under the NBA’s second luxury-tax apron.
