On the heels of losing Luke Kornet to the San Antonio Spurs in free agency, the Boston Celtics quickly addressed the center position. Attempting to make the most of its situation, despite dealing with roster-building restrictions, the franchise signed Luka Garza.
Their second free-agent acquisition was Josh Minott, who is also coming to Boston from the Minnesota Timberwolves.
At Summer League, while discussing continuing their careers together, Garza shared, "I didn't know. It was a surprise, but I called him right away. We were both excited. We've been through a lot together. When he was a rookie, we went down to Iowa together to play the Iowa rules training camp, and we kind of made it up together to the Timberwolves, and [we] are starting to see opportunities for both of us.
