Canadian forward Chris Boucher has agreed to a one-year, $3.3-million contract with the Boston Celtics, ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania reported Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Boucher\u2019s agent Sam Permut told Charania that the deal is fully guaranteed and that he is expected to take on a meaningful role in the Celtics\u2019 frontcourt rotation.<\/p>\n
The Montreal native leaves the Raptors after spending seven seasons with the team as a valuable player off the bench and helped the team win a title in 2019.<\/p>\n
With Boucher gone, the Raptors no longer roster any player from the team that won the NBA championship in 2019.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old averaged 10 points and 4.5 rebounds in 17.2 minutes per game last season while shooting 49.2 per cent in 50 games.<\/p>\n
Boucher was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2017 by the Golden State Warriors before joining Toronto in 2019.<\/p>\n
In 407 career games over eight seasons, Boucher has averaged 8.9 PPG on .488 shooting and 5.1 RPG over 17.7 MPG.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canadian forward Chris Boucher has agreed to a one-year, $3.3-million contract with the Boston Celtics, ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48699,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-48698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
