Lonnie Walker Signs with Boston Celtics to Complete Roster

Lonnie Walker's Impact on the Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics have successfully filled their last roster position by signing guard Lonnie Walker IV on Wednesday night. Brad Stevens is proving to be instrumental in the front office, as Walker was arguably one of the best remaining free agents.

Contract Details and Implications

Walker reportedly signed an Exhibit 10 contract—a non-guaranteed deal that primarily serves as a training camp invitation. While there’s no guarantee he’ll secure a place on the team, his signing provides depth to the Celtics' roster.

• Last season, Walker averaged 9.7 points over 58 games.
• He shot 38.4 percent from three-point range.
• Walker was a first-round pick by the Spurs in 2018.

This 25-year-old athlete brings valuable skills that could translate into significant bench minutes, especially noted for his shooting ability and athleticism.

Closing Remarks on Roster Changes

His arrival largely indicates a likely conclusion for Oshae Brissett's potential return, as he remains unsigned. This leaves Svi Mykhailuk, who signed with the Utah Jazz, as another notable exit from last year’s championship roster.

As the only free-agent signing this offseason, Walker's addition is a testament to the Celtics' commitment to maintaining the core of their championship team.
