The Boston Celtics are losing another member of their 2023-24 championship roster after declining to extend him a qualifying offer this offseason.
Forward Drew Peterson, who spent the past two seasons with Boston on a two-way contract, will join the Charlotte Hornets on a two-way pact in the 2025-26 campaign, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. He’ll reunite with former Celtics assistant and current Hornets head coach Charles Lee in Charlotte.
Peterson spent most of his first year with the Celtics’ G League affiliate, the Maine Celtics, appearing in just three games for the parent club.
