Jay Scrubb, a 22-year-old shooting guard drafted 55th overall by the Brooklyn Nets in the 2020 NBA draft, has secured a two way contract with the Boston Celtics following an impressive display in the NBA’s 2023 Las Vegas Summer League.
Scrubb, standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing in at 220 lbs., brings three seasons of NBA experience to the Celtics and their Portland-based G League affiliate, the Maine Celtics (formerly, Red Claws).
