Shortly after the Celtics lost Luke Kornet to the Spurs in free agency, Boston pivoted on the open market by bringing in some frontcourt help.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Celtics have signed free-agent center Luka Garza to a two-year, $5.5 million fully guaranteed contract.
The Celtics needed a contingency plan to address their frontcourt depth amid what has been a painful offseason so far.
Beyond Kornet’s exit in free agency and the Celtics dealing Kristaps Porzingis to the Hawks in a salary-clearing move earlier this month, Boston also faces the tangible possibility of Al Horford leaving the team in free agency this week.
