The Boston Celtics’ roster is nearly full. The offseason isn’t completely over, but 16 out of the 17 spots available heading into next season are occupied. There’s one two-way contract available after the completed Tristan Thompson trade finally brought Kris Dunn and Bruno Fernando to Boston and the team can carry twenty players through the offseason and into training camp, but the newest Celtic has every intention of making the cut.
Despite the roster crunch, Yam Madar and Juhann Begarin burst into The Auerbach Center last week confident anyway. They wanted to show they belong now, and Madar in particular ruled out returning to Israel.
