The Boston Celtics waived deep reserve forward Justin Champagnie before his $50,000 guarantee date this past Tuesday. The move takes his $2 million contract off the books for the Celtics before training camp, during which the former Pitt Panther would have competed for Boston’s one open regular roster spot.
The Celtics signed Champagnie last season before the playoffs. The former Toronto Raptor played in late-season games in which Boston regulars were rested. He was on the Sin City Celtics’ roster for the NBA’s 2023 Las Vegas Summer League. He shot a rough 39% from the field overall and 30% from beyond the arc.
