Boston Celtics Sign Spanish Rookie Hugo González to Contract

News summary

The Boston Celtics have signed Hugo González, the 28th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and the first Spanish player drafted by the franchise. González, a 19-year-old small forward from Real Madrid, has shown promise with his defensive versatility and offensive skills, although his three-point shooting is still developing. He averaged 3.4 points and 1.8 rebounds last season in EuroLeague and Spanish ACB play and recently helped Real Madrid win the Liga Endesa title. González's rookie contract is valued at approximately $2.78 million for the first year, part of a four-year deal worth $14.2 million, reflecting the Celtics' confidence in his potential. He hopes to participate in the 2025 Las Vegas Summer League alongside fellow Celtics rookies Amari Williams and Max Shulga, though the team will make the final decision. With key roster changes, including the departures of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis and an injury to Jayson Tatum, González joins a Celtics team in transition and is preparing to make his mark in the NBA.
