What is the truth behind why the Boston Celtics elected to waive two way forward Miles Norris? The Celtics signed Norris to a two way spot toward the end of their 2024-25 regular season campaign, and Norris looked poised to stick with a team that was going to need affordable depth able to shoot the rock from deep and defend a bit.
Then, in the 2025 NBA Draft, Boston took a trio of young prospects as the front office sought to shift gears in the wake of star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury. One, Hugo Gonzalez, will play for the team on a regular discount, and the other two prospects taken by Boston (Amari Williams and Max Shulga) were reportedly headed for two way deals. Then, the Celtics dealt vet forward Georges Niang into the Utah Jazz’ cap space, getting two way wing RJ Luis Jr. back in return, ultimately leading to Norris’ ouster as a Boston two way player.
