If the Boston Celtics find themselves getting burned by a wing they let go that was snapped up by an Eastern Conference rival, it won’t be the first time that has happened (cough, cough, Max Strus). Per an announcement from the team, the Miami Heat have added former Celtics wing Justin Champagnie to their training camp roster in their seemingly never-ending quest for cheap, competent depth.
The Pitt alum played in two games for the Celtics last season, averaging 2.5 points, 2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game, and shot just 16.7%. from the field overall. That, coupled with a nearly as rough of a performance in the NBA’s 2023 Las Vegas Summer League with the Sin City Celtics, led Boston to cut the former Panther before his first contract guarantee kicked in earlier this summer.
