What's Happening?
The Boston Celtics have waived three players as they finalize their roster for the upcoming NBA season. The players released include Wendell Moore Jr., Kendall Brown, and Jalen Bridges. Moore, a former
top-25 recruit and 26th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, along with Brown and Bridges, who completed their college careers at Baylor, are expected to join the G League. This move is part of the Celtics' strategy to trim their training camp roster to meet regular season requirements.
Why It's Important?
The decision to waive these players reflects the Celtics' efforts to streamline their roster and focus on players who can contribute immediately. While Moore, Brown, and Bridges have potential, their transition to the G League suggests the team is prioritizing immediate performance over long-term development. This move could impact the players' careers, offering them a chance to develop further in the G League and potentially return to the NBA in the future.
What's Next?
The waived players will likely continue their development in the G League, with the possibility of being called up if they demonstrate significant improvement. The Celtics will focus on integrating their remaining roster and preparing for the season opener, with attention on maximizing team performance and addressing any gaps left by the departures.
