Boston Celtics rookie Grant Williams has signed a multi-year shoe endorsement contract with Nike, the first-round pick told Nicole Yang of the Boston Globe.
The 22nd overall pick told Rookie Wire in August that he hadn’t yet decided on a shoe company after admitting he hadn’t had much time to think about it given his hectic schedule. Instead of quickly coming to a decision, Williams wanted to take his time and weigh his options.
Williams will now join a large group of rookies to sign on with the Swoosh, including Ja Morant, De’Andre Hunter, Jaxson Hayes, Tyler Herro and Eric Paschall among others.
Grant Williams told me he has signed with Nike.
