Will backup big man Oshae Brissett re-sign with the Boston Celtics in free agency this summer? The former Indiana Pacer had by all accounts a solid if unremarkable 2023-24 regular season with the Celtics, and saw his role shrink significantly from an already minor one in the postseason.
But he did play some important minutes in the series with his former ball club, and plays a position of need for the Celtics. “While not an elite floor-stretcher, his good physical profile and resultant strong multi-positional defense made him a very solid tenth man, and the occasional highlight-reel plays added some sprinkles to the cake,” writes Mark Deeks on our sister site, HoopsHype.
“In a world where Derrick Jones Jr’s price is the minimum salary, so is Brissett’s, but here is as good as anywhere.”

Could Brissett find an opportunity with more playing time, or perhaps even a bit more than the minimum? Perhaps, but as Deeks insinuates, it won’t be on a team that has a better shot to win it all in 2024.
