Luke Kornet stuck out to Brad Stevens for some time before the Celtics acquired the former Bulls and Knicks stretch seven-footer in a trade deadline deal for Daniel Theis. Stevens used him liberally in a front court during a season where Robert Williams III battled injuries and Tristan Thompson fought COVID-19. Now, he’ll return for training camp, albeit in a smaller role in a bolstered front court.
The Celtics signed Kornet to an Exhibit 10 contract on Wednesday, according to Chris Grenham, making him the second of Boston’s training camp invites after adding Juwan Morgan earlier in the day.
