Celtics make final call on Devin Carter after just one appearance

The Boston Celtics have made a swift decision on Devin Carter’s future, converting his Exhibit 10 training camp deal into a two-way contract after just one preseason appearance. Carter, a former Providence College standout and 13th overall pick, delivered an eye-catching debut against the Cleveland Cavaliers, recording 17 points, five rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 25 minutes off the bench.

His performance stood out not only for the stat line but for his ability to push the pace, finish at the rim, and disrupt the Cavs’ rotation with his defensive versatility. The Celtics’ roster shakeup continued earlier this summer when they acquired Carter after he was waived by the Atlanta Hawks, who had received him in a trade from the Sacramento Kings—where he spent his first two NBA seasons averaging 6.4 points and 2.7 rebounds in 74 games.

Carter’s preseason impact was cut short by illness, but his brief stint with Boston has now solidified into a two-way role, joining Dillon Mitchell and Amari Williams in the G-League Next program. With all three two-way spots now filled, the Celtics have added another piece to their developmental pipeline, even as Carter’s preseason run ended abruptly before the team’s final exhibition games.
