DJ Steward’s training camp contract with the Boston Celtics has been officially confirmed, as reported by Keith Smith.
The Celtics solidified an arrangement for a training camp contract with the former Duke guard, DJ Steward, back in August, as revealed by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski in a tweet.
Sources conveyed to Wojnarowski that Steward will have an opportunity to secure a two-way contract.
In Boston, there is a single vacancy remaining, with JD Davison and Jay Scrubb already in possession of two-way agreements.
Steward had previously inked deals with the Kings in both 2021 and 2022, but ended up in the G League on both occasions.
In April, he made a move to the Vancouver Bandits in the Canadian Elite Basketball League.
The 21-year-old showcased his skills for the Sixers during the Las Vegas Summer League, where he posted an average of 16.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists across five games.
