Honestly, shouts to Justin Jackson. Pretty admirable for a veteran to bet on himself, play in Summer League and impress enough to grab a roster spot. – 3:02 PM

Putting together reporting and my own intel, it seems like Noah Vonleh has one of Boston’s open roster spots locked up. Due to injuries, the Celtics seem likely to fill the 15th spot for now. That looks like it is down to Justin Jackson or Jake Layman. We’ll likely know tomorrow. – 9:16 AM

#Celtics down to 16 on the offseason roster after waiving Thomas and Šamanić.
Noah Vonleh, Jake Layman and Justin Jackson remain on camp deals. Roster needs to get down to at least 15 by early next week. Can keep a spot open and carry 14, but it sounds more likely C’s go w/ 15. – 12:38 AM

The signing rounds out a field of tryouts the team plans to hold in training camp, including Bruno Caboclo and Noah Vonleh, who have already been signed. The source also confirmed that Summer League standout Justin Jackson and Maine Celtics guard from this past season Denzel Valentine will join the team this preseason, as had been previously reported. -via CLNSMedia.com / September 15, 2022
