Celtics sign Dillon Mitchell to two-way contract following college rumors

Dillon Mitchell, selected 40th overall in the 2026 NBA Draft, will not return to college but has inked a two-way contract with the Boston Celtics. This decision follows speculation about the possibility of his return to college basketball after a court ruling allowed extra eligibility for some players. Mitchell played three Summer League games, highlighting his talents with a standout performance that included 24 points and six steals in one game. He will primarily play for the Maine Celtics in the G League, as two-way contracts limit NBA appearances to 50 games. The Celtics now have two of their three two-way contracts filled.
