With the news the Boston Celtics had signed former Providence College player AJ Reeves to a training camp deal came bad news for another player. The team needed to cut someone to make space on the maxed-out 20-man camp roster so Reeves could join.
That unlucky soul was forward Luka Samanic, who is expected to join the (Portland) Maine Celtics for the 2022-23 G League season, per The Athletic’s Jared Weiss. The Croatian forward struggled in his limited minutes playing for Boston, averaging just a point and 2.5 rebounds per game in preseason action with the Celtics in two appearances with the team.
The 6-foot-10 Zagreb native might yet latch on in the NBA with enough experience under his belt to get the game to slow down, given he averaged an impressive 26 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal with the Westchester Knicks last season.
