Boston Celtics bolster G League with Keon Johnson signing
The Boston Celtics are generating excitement within their G League ranks by adding a promising talent who once graced the first round of the NBA Draft. The Maine Celtics, the franchise’s G League affiliate, are set to welcome free agent guard Keon Johnson, who has been recently signed following his tenure with the Brooklyn Nets.
A Healthy Return
Sources indicate that Johnson, who is now fully healthy after overcoming previous setbacks, brings a solid skill set to Maine. Last season, he made a notable impact during his time with the Nets, where he played in 79 games, starting 56 of them. His performance included averages of 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.0 steals per game, showcasing his versatility on both ends of the court.
Potential for Growth
The signing of Johnson not only provides the Maine Celtics with a dynamic player, but it also presents an opportunity for him to further develop his game in a supportive environment. The Celtics organization has a reputation for nurturing young talent, and Johnson’s addition could be a strategic move to enhance his skills and prepare him for potential future contributions at the NBA level.
As the G League season unfolds, all eyes will be on Johnson as he takes the court for Maine, eager to make his mark and potentially earn a call-up to the Celtics’ main roster.
