Celtics waive Walt Lemon Jr.

The Celtics parted ways with two-way player Walt Lemon Jr. on Thursday, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, leaving PJ Dozier as the team’s lone player on a two-way deal.

Lemon Jr. signed with Boston back in July after playing out a couple of 10-day contracts with the New Orleans Pelicans during the 2017-18 season and has actually played well for the Celtics’ G-League affiliate Maine Red Claws this year.

Through 10 games, the 26-year-old has averaged 23.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 2.6 steals per game while shooting 34.
