Miles Norris is coming off his rookie season in the NBA where he appeared in three games for the Boston Celtics.

The 25-year-old had averages of 2.3 points and 3.0 rebounds per contest while shooting 22.2% from the field and 28.6% from the three-point range.

On Sunday, the Celtics announced that they had waived Norris.

Via Bobby Manning of Celtics on CLNS: "Surprised to see Miles Norris go after a strong finish to last season with Maine. Could really shoot the ball.

#Celtics betting on a more rounded game in RJ Luis, whose upside flashed at St. John's before a rough combine left him undrafted. Luis is 23 this season."

Norris had a very strong year in the G League where he averaged 16.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 45.7% from the field and 39.5% from the three-point range in 30 games (27 starts).
