Celtics Bring In Blake Griffin WIth A One-year Contract

With Robert Williams III ruled out for several months due to a knee injury and Danilo Gallinari sitting out because of a torn ACL, the Boston Celtics seriously required reinforcements. They discovered the same in a six-time All-Star Blake Griffin, who sealed the deal with a guaranteed one-year contract with the Celtics.

Griffin played out the last season-and-a-half with the Brooklyn Nets, after grabbing a contract buyout from the Detroit Pistons in 2020-21. He was a useful supporting element that season, averaging 10 points per game in a complementary job alongside Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving, striking 38% of his three-pointers and beginning 12 of their playoff games. Griffin's shooting has declined over the last year, but he still played 56 games for Brooklyn, starting 24. He was the best choice for the Celtics.
