The Boston Celtics have signed 7-foot-1 center Dmytro Skapintsev to an Exhibit 10 deal, providing him a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp. Skapintsev, who previously played for the New York Knicks' G-League affiliate, averaged 12.1 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks last season. With Kristaps Porzingis expected to miss the start of the season due to foot surgery, Skapintsev could serve as valuable big man depth. Although he faces competition from other big men on the roster, he could be assigned to the Maine Celtics if waived. This signing follows the Celtics' commitment to Lonnie Walker IV earlier this offseason and highlights the team's strategy in bolstering their frontcourt before the season begins.
