Clearing up the Boston Celtics playoff roster options

With the news that Kyrie Irving will miss the rest of the season, the next logical question is: What do the Boston Celtics do about their roster? To answer that, there are some simple, yet unfulfilling answers.

The Celtics are reportedly signing Jonathan Gibson for the remainder of the season. Gibson will replace Xavier Silas on the roster. Whether that happens before Friday’s game against the Chicago Bulls or after the game, when Silas 10 Day Contract expires, remains to be seen.

Gibson is being signed via the same Hardship Exemption that Silas was signed under.
