Celtics' free agent just made a brilliant decision

Drew Peterson has agreed to a two-way deal with the Charlotte Hornets, per ESPN's Shams Charania. The six-foot-nine forward spent the last two seasons in that arrangement with the Boston Celtics.

During his tenure with the latter organization, Peterson produced 2.3 points and 1.5 rebounds per contest in 7.5 minutes across 28 games. He also knocked down 42.1 percent of the 1.4 threes he hoisted.

In Charlotte, he'll reunite with Hornets head coach Charles Lee. The latter was Boston's lead assistant during their run to Banner 18 in 2024-25. Lee is changing the Hornets' culture and helping grow a young nucleus that now features LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and this year's first-round picks, Kon Knueppel, drafted fourth overall, and the No.
