Payton Pritchard has signed a 4-year, $30 million contract extension with the Celtics, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Pritchard’s deal is fully guaranteed, Wojnarowski reports.
The 25-yeard-old guard appeared in 48 games last season, averaging 13.4 minutes per game. His minutes were slashed during the playoffs last year, averaging 6.8 minutes during the Miami Heat series and 7.7 minutes during the Sixers series.
But, with guards Marcus Smart and Malcolm Brogdon no longer in Boston, Pritchard could take a bigger role off the bench this season, if he can provide consistent scoring from the outside.
