Boston Celtics evaluate roster moves and contract extensions

The Boston Celtics are managing several roster adjustments ahead of the upcoming NBA season. The team currently holds an open two-way contract slot, which they may leave vacant for several weeks to maintain flexibility. Potential candidates to fill this role include rookies Milos Uzan and Tucker DeVries, or free agents like Neemias Queta.

In player contract news, analysts suggest the Celtics should consider a significant extension for Payton Pritchard, potentially worth approximately $22 million per year. Additionally, the team is set to introduce new additions Paul George, Mitchell Robinson, and Mike Conley at an upcoming press conference.

The Celtics have also expressed interest in signing guard Devin Carter, who was recently waived by the Atlanta Hawks. Carter, a 2024 lottery pick, averaged 8.9 points and 2.7 assists per game during the 2025-26 season.
