Scotto added that Carter will compete for a roster or two-way spot throughout training camp, which is set to begin near the end of September.<\/p>\n
Carter, 24, was originally a member of the Sacramento Kings, who drafted him 13th overall in 2024. He saw limited NBA floor time, however, due to a mix of injuries and a crowded backcourt in Sacramento. Carter totalled 74 appearances through his first two seasons, averaging 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists in that span.<\/p>\n
He played 38 games during the 2025-26 campaign, posting averages of 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 18.4 minutes.<\/p>\n
Carter was then traded by Sacramento to the Atlanta Hawks in June, which was largely a cost-cutting move, with the guard’s $5.16 million salary for the upcoming season coming off the Kings books. Atlanta then waived Carter on Sept. 11, opening the door for him to join Boston.<\/p>\n
He’ll compete to be a part of a new-look Celtics team led by Jayson Tatum and running mate Paul George, who arrived in a deal that shipped off Jalen Brown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scotto added that Carter will compete for a roster or two-way spot throughout training camp, which is set…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":895686,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-895685","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\/895685","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=895685"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/895685\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/895686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=895685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=895685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=895685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
