The Boston Celtics<\/a> have made another minor roster move.<\/p>\n

Less than 24 hours later, it was reported<\/a> that the Celtics had waived Grill.<\/p>\n

Why the Celtics waived Caleb Grill<\/p>\n

This appears to be the same situation as Hank Morgan<\/a>, the former Division III star the Celtics signed and waived over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Grill’s contract is likely an Exhibit 10 deal<\/a>, which could make him eligible for a bonus of up to $91,000 if he joins Boston’s G League affiliate, the Maine Celtics.<\/p>\n

Grill is a 26-year-old guard from Wichita, Kansas. He played at Iowa State, UNLV and Missouri before going undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft.<\/p>\n

Grill was named the SEC Sixth Man of the Year in 2025 after averaging 13.7 points and 3.6 rebounds per game for Missouri.<\/p>\n

Grill spent the 2025-26 season in the G League with the Windy City Bulls and Greensboro Swarm. He averaged 7.8 points per game while shooting 43.9 percent from 3-point range for the Swarm, who went on to win the G League championship.<\/p>\n

If Grill joins the Maine Celtics, he’ll have an opportunity to continue his career in Boston’s system.<\/p>\n

Grill already has some familiarity with the franchise, having played for the Celtics in Summer League.<\/p>\n
