The Celtics are opening a spot on their training camp roster by waiving Hayden Gray, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac (Twitter link).
The 22-year-old guard signed an Exhibit 10 contract in July after going undrafted out of UC San Diego. He was a member of Boston’s Summer League team, getting into one game and putting up seven points, two assists and two steals in 20 minutes.
Gray is expected to join the G League’s Maine Celtics, Smith adds. The Exhibit 10 deal makes him eligible for a bonus worth up to $85,300 if he spends at least 60 days with the team.
Gray was the Division I leader in steals with 3.1 per game last season. He also averaged 11.2 points, 3.3 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 35 games while shooting 47.9% from the field and 41.8% from three-point range.
Gray’s departure leaves Boston with 20 players, one short of the offseason limit. Three new signings became official earlier today.
