The Boston Celtics have reportedly finalized their roster by signing free agent wing Lamar Stevens, as per The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Stevens, a 26-year-old forward standing at 6-foot-6, made a name for himself as a defensive force during the 2022-23 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, starting in 25 out of the 62 games he played.
During his time with the Cavs, Stevens averaged 5.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in approximately 18.1 minutes per game. He posted solid shooting percentages, with 44.8% from the field, 31.6% from beyond the 3-point line, and 70.2% from the free throw line.
Stevens’ contract with the Celtics is reported to be partially guaranteed, suggesting that he will compete for a roster spot during training camp.
