The Boston Celtics, defending champions, have signed Lonnie Walker IV to a one-year deal in preparation for the upcoming training camp. Walker, a former first-round pick by the San Antonio Spurs, joins the Celtics after a stint with the Brooklyn Nets last season. Despite facing some challenges, Walker showed promise on the court, averaging 9.7 points and 2.2 rebounds in 58 games off the bench. His ability to shoot from behind the arc at 38.4% makes him a valuable asset for the Celtics.
With Walker’s addition, it appears that Oshae Brissett may not be returning to the team. Walker is expected to fill the ninth or tenth spot on the roster, providing scoring off the bench and floor spacing. His skill set aligns well with Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla’s offensive strategy, which emphasizes shooting from all positions.
The Celtics are gearing up for a fast-paced season, starting training camp in September and playing preseason games in Abu Dhabi. The team will kick off the season by raising their 18th banner at TD Garden and setting their sights on a repeat championship. With Walker on board, the Celtics aim to follow in the footsteps of the Golden State Warriors and secure back-to-back titles.
