Celtics Convert JD Davison to Final Roster Spot Before Playoffs

The Boston Celtics have secured their playoff roster by converting JD Davison's two-way contract into a standard two-year NBA deal, filling their last open roster spot just before the postseason. Davison, who was named the G League MVP after an impressive season with the Maine Celtics, averaged 25.1 points, 7.4 assists, and 5.2 rebounds per game, showcasing his potential as a dynamic player. This decision is strategic as Davison provides additional guard depth behind established players like Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, especially with the future of Holiday uncertain. Despite limited NBA experience, Davison's skill set and recent performance in the G League suggest he could become a valuable contributor for Boston. The Celtics are pursuing their 19th NBA title, and head coach Joe Mazzulla has emphasized the balance of winning now while developing young talent. With the team locked into the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, they await their first-round playoff opponent after finishing the regular season with a remarkable 60 wins.
