What happened
Payton Pritchard said he was honored by his extension and explained why he agreed to it now, while Boston local coverage also highlighted his value to the team after the new deal.
The Celtics also converted Devin Carter to a two-way contract and waived four players after training camp, with reports describing the club’s opening-night roster picture as nearly finalized.
These moves tighten Boston’s guard and two-way picture, but the exact opening-night rotation is still not fully set. A separate two-way signee’s mononucleosis and unclear return timeline could keep one roster spot in flux.
