Hason Ward played high-school basketball at Springfield Central.The Celtics are reportedly adding a former Massachusetts high-school standout to their roster.
Boston signed 6-foot-9 forward Hason Ward to an Exhibit 10 contract, according to his agency. Ward hails from St. Thomas, Barbados, but attended high school at Springfield Central — where he put himself on the radar of Division I programs due to his size and shot-blocking capabilities.
Ward was a force during his high school career, blocking 22 shots in one game as a junior with the Golden Eagles. He averaged 10.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks during his senior year at Springfield Central before moving on to the collegiate ranks.
