Reggie Kissoonlal, Sam Griesel to join Celtics’ 2023 Las Vegas Summer League squad

The Celtics are close to having a full roster with these two additions, the total of players at a dozen at the time of writing.

Two more names can be added to the Boston Celtics’ roster for the NBA’s 2023 Las Vegas Summer League based on new reporting from Rookie Wire’s Cody Taylor and Husker Online’s Robin Washut.

Per Taylor, the Celtics are adding wing Reggie Kisoonlal to the Sin City Celtics. According to Washut, Boston plans to bring on former Nebraska guard Sam Griesel.

Kisoonlal spent last season with the Maine Celtics, and his versatility on the wing at 7 feet should give the summer Celtics an interesting look with the potential to earn a two-way deal.

Griesel, an undrafted 6-foot-6 shooting guard who rebounds well for his position and can facilitate could fight his way into one of Boston’s two-way slots with a strong performance. He will need to improve his perimeter shooting to stick at the NBA level.

While it is not clear how many players Boston will carry to the annual Nevada exhibition series, the Celtics are close to having a full roster. The two additions give them a dozen players for the summer league roster.

Celtics cut AJ Reeves, sign Reggie Kissoonlal; latter headed to Maine Celtics

Kissoonlal is a recent shift to play as a big man at 6-foot-11; in his time at the college level, he played in the backcourt

The Boston Celtics have been getting their proverbial ducks in a row regarding both their roster with the parent club in Boston as well as that of the Maine Celtics according to recent reports. Per Celtics Blog’s Keith Smith, the team has officially waived Roxbury native AJ Reeves, with the undrafted wing likely headed to the Maine Celtics as an affiliate player, though no concrete reporting has yet confirmed that.

In a similar vein, the Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn relates that the Celtics have also signed former Northwestern State wing Reggie Kissoonlal with the intent to send him to the team’s Portland (Maine) based G League affiliate.

Kissoonlal is a recent shift to play as a big man at 6-foot-11; in his time at the college level, he played in the backcourt, averaging 3.3 points and 1.4 rebounds per game at Northwestern State in Florida.

He has since shifted to be a combo big overseas, retaining guard skills with size in his time playing for Danish club Randers Cimbria, where he put up 20 points, 8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, a steal, and 2.8 blocks per game.
