The Boston Celtics are set to sign point guard DJ Steward per recent reporting from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Steward’s potential addition to the Celtics’ roster comes in the form of a training camp deal, with the opportunity to compete for a two-way contract.
The former Duke guard is coming off a year in the G League where he played 28 regular season tilts, averaging 12.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game at that level. He showcased shooting skills, with a 45.8% overall field goal percentage and a 40.9% efficiency rate from beyond the arc. The 21-year-old had gone undrafted in 2021 after a single season of college basketball at Duke, where he put up 13.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
