Baylor Scheierman will stay in Boston for the foreseeable future.
The Celtics decided to exercise Scheierman’s $2.74 million team option for the 2026-2027 season, via Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
Boston drafted Scheierman with the 30th overall pick in 2024 out of Creighton, where he averaged 18.5 points per game as a senior on his way to being named a third-team All-American.
But Scheierman has only played a small role for the Celtics so far, averaging 8.5 minutes per game and scoring just three points this season. However, he has shown potential for how he can impact this team for the better with his passing and hustle in Summer League.
