It may be August, but Brad Stevens and the Boston Celtics continued working like it’s the opening hours of the offseason Wednesday.

In his final season of college ball, Shulga averaged 15 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game, along with a 43.5 field goal percentage and 38.7 percent mark from three-point range, in 35 games for VCU during the 2024-25 season on the way to Atlantic 10 Player of the Year honors.

Utilized as more of a sparkplug type, Shulga made five appearances for the Summer League Celtics, and averaged five points, 1.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per game while averaging 21 minutes per game. 

The Ukrainian-born Shulga, who was a college teammate of Neemias Queta, joins Miles Norris as Boston’s two-way signings, while new addition RJ Luis Jr. (picked up in the Niang trade) is also arriving to Boston on a two-way contract. That maxes out Boston’s two-way contract slot at three.

Players on two-way contracts will spend most of their season playing in the G League, but can be active for up to 50 of their NBA club’s 82 games during the regular season. And while they do not count against a team’s salary cap or take up a roster spot, players on two-way deals will not be eligible for postseason play unless they are signed to a standard NBA contract.

Boston’s signing of Shulga, as well as last month’s signing of first-round pick Hugo Gonzalez, leaves second-round pick Amari Williams the last remaining unsigned member of the Celtics’ 2025 draft class.
