Boston Celtics Announce Roster Decision

Originally posted on Fastbreak on SI | By Ben Stinar | Last updated Jul 10, 2024 4:29 PM ET

JD Davison is coming off his second year in the NBA for the Boston Celtics.

The former Alabama star was on a two-way deal, so he only appeared in eight games and had averages of 2.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest while shooting 41.7% from the field.

On July 8, the Celtics announced that they have re-signed Davison to another two-way deal.

Davison was the 53rd pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.

His career averages are 1.8 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists per contest while shooting 41.9% from the field and 35.7% from the three-point range in 20 regular season games.

In addition to his time in the NBA, Davison has played in the G League for the Maine Celtics.

He finished the 2023-24 season with impressive averages of 20.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.6 steals per contest while shooting 45.3% from the field and 26.6% from the three-point range in 28 games.

Davison is only 21, so he will likely continue to improve.
