The Boston Celtics have at least one open roster spot after a busy free agency period — assuming they don’t release or trade away an end-of-the-bench option like Luke Kornet or Sam Hauser before the season — and could look to fill it with either a veteran hand, a younger player who fell between the cracks, or they could promote one of their existing two-way contract holders to the pro team full-time.
If the Celtics explore that last option and lock up either recent two-way signing Jay Scrubb or 2022 second-round draft pick JD Davison to a standard NBA pact, Inside The Celtics’ Bobby Krivitsky believes recently-released Los Angeles Lakers forward Cole Swider would be “one of the better options” available.
