The Boston Celtics bolstered their point guard rotation by adding 23-year-old Dalano Banton from Toronto in July early in the NBA’s 2023 free agency period. With a total of two seasons of NBA experience to his name so far, Banton previously played as a backup floor general for the Toronto Raptors.
The Canadian showcased his skills with the Sin City Celtics during the league’s 2023 Las Vegas Summer League with a noteworthy performance of 18 points and 9 rebounds against the Summer New York Knicks after missing games with an unspecified hand injury. Soon, fans of the storied ball club will get to see Banton with the regular roster in preseason action.
But while we wait, team reporter Taylor Snow assembled five fast facts to get to know Banton better in the meantime.
