Celtics reportedly sign veteran big man Chris Boucher to 1-year deal

Shortly after the Celtics reportedly traded away veteran big man Georges Niang to the Utah Jazz, Boston reportedly found his replacement.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Celtics have signed forward Chris Boucher to a one-year deal with a $3.3 million cap hit.

Boucher, 32, has been a stalwart on the bench for the Raptors over the previous seven seasons. As noted by Charania, Boucher is Toronto’s all-time franchise record in points, rebounds, blocks, minutes, and games played off the bench — and was the last remaining member of the 2019 NBA championship team.
