Celtics Shake Up Roster Ahead of New Season
In a surprise move, the Boston Celtics have decided to part ways with guard Lonnie Walker IV. According to sources, the 25-year-old will be waived, leaving the team’s 15th roster spot open just as the regular season is about to kick off.
A Look at Walker’s Time with the Celtics
Walker joined the Celtics over the summer on a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deal. During his brief stint with the team, he averaged 7.3 points in 16.4 minutes across four preseason games. While these numbers may not seem impressive, they only tell part of the story.
Walker’s NBA History
Before joining the Celtics, Walker played for the Brooklyn Nets, where he averaged nearly 10 points in 23.2 minutes per game. The 2018 No. 18 pick has also shown promise from beyond the arc, shooting 37.5% from 3 on 4.6 attempts over the past two years.
What’s Next for the Celtics?
With Walker’s departure, the Celtics now have an open roster spot to fill. As the team prepares to take on the new season, fans will be eagerly waiting to see who will fill the vacant spot. One thing is certain, however: the Celtics are looking to shake things up and make a strong start to the season.
