Celtics renounces JD Davison, returns under the second apron – NBC Sports Boston

Thursday, the Boston Celtics have announced that they had renounced 22 -year -old guard JD Davison.

Davison spent the first three years of his career in the NBA as a two -way player for Boston. The Celtics had converted his two-way contract in a standard two-year agreement in April and took his team option for the 2025-26 campaign in June.

Separately separate the Celtics under the second apron of the luxury tax. Boston now has an open place, even if any addition would put the organization on the second apron.

The Celtics initially selected Davison in the second round (53rd) of the NBA 2022 draft. The Alabama product appeared in just 16 games for Boston last season, with an average of 2.1 points in 5.8 minutes per game. However, he prossed with the Maine Celtics in the NBA G League, with an average of 25.1 points, 7.6 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game to earn honors of G League MVP.

Davison gained a championship ring with the Celtics in 2024. After appearing in just 36 games in three years with Boston, he should have the opportunity to earn more playing time with a new team for next season and beyond.
