Celtics monitor Devin Carter after the Hawks waive the guard

Summary

The Boston Celtics are interested in signing Devin Carter after the Atlanta Hawks waived the 24-year-old guard. Carter, the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft, previously played for the Sacramento Kings before joining Atlanta. During his tenure with Sacramento last season, he averaged 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 38 games. While his shooting from behind the arc remains a concern at 26.3%, his defensive capabilities and physical play remain his primary assets. The Celtics are currently evaluating their roster options and could pursue him as a developmental piece if he clears waivers. Carter’s collegiate background at Providence provides a New England connection as he looks to reset his career.
