The Boston Celtics have waived forward Wenyen Gabriel, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.
It is a move that made sense for the Celtics, a team hoping to contend for an NBA Championship. They likely didn’t want to add more luxury tax for a player without a solidified role, and this gives them more flexibility with the open roster spot.
However, for Gabriel, finding a new NBA home won’t be easy, and finding a permanent one has been a rough go for the former Wildcats’ forward.
