The Celtics have signed veteran forward Blake Griffin to a one-year, fully guaranteed contract, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The 33-year-old Griffin spent last season with the Nets, where he averaged career lows in points (6.4), rebounds (4.1), field goal attempts (5.6) and minutes per game (17.1). It was the first year of Griffin’s career in which he averaged less than double-digit points per game.
The signing of Griffin comes as Boston searches for frontcourt depth entering the new basketball season. Danilo Gallinari, who was expected to play a major role off the Celtics’ bench this season, tore his ACL at the FIBA World Cup Qualifying and will miss the season.
