Former Boston Celtics big man Noah Vonleh has become the latest former Celtic to find himself a new home playing overseas. Per Alberto De Roa of HoopsHype, Vonleh signed a new deal with the Chinese Basketball Association’s Shanghai Sharks, with whom the onetime Indiana Hoosier also played for during the 2021-22 season.
For the 2022-23 season, Vonleh played with Boston as a depth big man. He played in 23 games for the Celtics. He put up 1.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per game while shooting 45.8% from the field overall and 25% from beyond the 3-point line.
Vonleh was dealt from the Celtics to the San Antonio Spurs with cash to cover his remaining salary for a protected second-round pick and a traded exception. The Spurs subsequently waived the Salem native.
It may be the dog days of August in the NBA’s 2023 offseason, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have plenty of Boston Celtics-related things to talk about. https://t.co/9D3kRmYsql
