The Celtics announced today that they were waiving 6’10” stretch forward Miles Norris, who was on a two-way deal for them. Norris played three games for the team last season after playing the previous season in Turkey.
The move may have been made in order to sign Amari Williams, whom the Celtics selected with the 46th pick in the 2025 draft, speculates Souichi Terada of MassLive.
Williams has not yet been signed by the team in any capacity, and two of the team’s three two-way slots are already occupied by Max Shulga and the recently-acquired RJ Luis. That means that by waiving Norris, the team can sign Williams to its third two-way opening.
Williams, a 6’11” center out of Kentucky known for his passing ability, played 17.6 minutes for the Celtics’ Summer League team and averaged 6.25 points, five rebounds, and 1.75 assists.
