Breaking News: Boston Celtics Sign Promising…
Forward to Bolster Roster
The Boston Celtics have made a significant move in free agency, signing versatile forward, Jackson Harper, to a multi-year deal. The 24-year-old, known for his athleticism and defensive prowess, is expected to add depth to the Celtics’ frontcourt as they push for a deep playoff run this season.
Harper, a 6’9″ forward, played for the Phoenix Suns last season, where he averaged 11.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. His combination of size, speed, and ability to guard multiple positions has made him a coveted player among teams looking to bolster their defense.
“We’re thrilled to bring Jackson into the Celtics family,” said Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens. “His skill set fits perfectly with what we’re building here. We believe he’ll make an immediate impact on both ends of the floor.”
Harper joins a Celtics team that already boasts a strong core led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. With his addition, the Celtics are expected to be even more competitive in the Eastern Conference, as they aim to return to the NBA Finals.
