The Boston Celtics are one of the teams hardest hit by the plague of positives in the NBA. Right now the low part of the greens have seven players going through the sanitary protocol. Which leaves them with only ten players available with G League affiliates. Therefore, the franchise has taken advantage of the new measures announced by the NBA to sign to CJ Miles on a ten day contract.
The veteran guard has already had two seasons without playing in the NBA since he last played with the Washington Wizards in November 2019. The franchise terminated his contract in January 2020 and since then he has not played a game in the best. world league. Miles joined the G League Ignite discipline last Friday, but his stay there has been short-lived.
At 34, the Celtics come to him to make up the plethora of absences under which they hover. Presumably, this won’t be the only firm Boston signs today. According to sources close to the organization, today will announce several movements to cover the three signings required by the new regulations.
Lastly, the Boston government will begin restricting access to closed-door events to unvaccinated people starting January 15. In principle, this could have affected Celtics players who do not comply with this requirement, but the regulations will consider them as an exception, since they will not apply in the case of elite athletes.
