Despite going out in the 2K23 NBA Las Vegas Summer League like a boss by nailing a game-winning 3-point shot on a twisted ankle, the Boston Celtics and reserve wing Matt Ryan are unlikely to reunite for another season, per recent reporting from the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach.
The decision perhaps signals the team has other ideas for players to bring on to fill one of the team’s three open regular roster slots for next season.
The ball club’s primary need will be for a backup big man or two to help spell Boston’s frontcourt with oft-injured Robert Williams III and vet Al Horford likely needing time off.

But wing depth is another area where Boston is thin, making the news about Ryan not even being extended a camp invite a bit of a surprise that likely signals other things to come.
