Celtics Sign Garza, Minott Amid Roster Overhaul

The Boston Celtics are restructuring their roster after their 2024 NBA championship, dealing with the departures of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis via trades and losing Luke Kornet to the San Antonio Spurs. In response, the team has signed centers Luka Garza and Josh Minott, both formerly with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Garza agreed to a two-year, $5.5 million fully guaranteed contract and is expected to contribute significantly as a backup center. Minott signed a two-year, $5 million deal with a team option for the second year, offering youthful energy and versatility. These additions reflect Boston's approach to add affordable, developing talent while staying under the NBA's second luxury tax apron. The moves highlight a transition period focused on financial management and player development.
