It’s official: the Boston Celtics have signed Blake Griffin.
The 33-year-old will join the team on a one-year, fully guaranteed contract, as was first reported this past Friday. Griffin will wear #91 with the Celtics, becoming the first player in team history to don those digits.
While he was seen talking to Jaylen Brown ahead of Boston’s preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets, the signing was not official in time for him to play, but he joined the team at training camp on Monday.
When asked about what he expects his role in Boston to be, he said he’s focused on providing the team with a stable bench presence in their quest to win a championship.
