The Boston Celtics have announced that they have filled one of their three two way roster slots for the coming 2024-25 NBA season. The player in question is a familiar face for fans of the team, with the slot going to 2023-24 Celtics two way forward Drew Peterson.
Terms of the deal have not officially been made public, but the move shores up the Celtics’ development pipeline with a known commodity in terms of Peterson’s play. At the NBA level last season, the University of Southern California alum put up a solid 3.7 points per game with Boston in 3 games played. And at the G League level, Peterson logged 12 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3 assists per game over 4 appearances.
A career 38.5% shot from beyond the arc at the G League level, Peterson is an intriguing if still raw talent that could conceivably play his way into an NBA role in the next season or two with luck.
