The Boston Celtics have been busy this offseason, keeping their core players together after their 2024 NBA championship win. One of the latest players to re-sign with the team is Xavier Tillman, who has agreed to a two-year contract.
Tillman, a 25-year-old big man, was acquired from the Memphis Grizzlies before the trade deadline last season and proved to be a valuable asset for the Celtics. In the regular season, he averaged 5.3 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. However, he stepped up especially in the playoffs when Kristaps Porzingis was sidelined due to injury.
During Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Tillman made significant contributions with his rebounds, blocks, and even a key 3-pointer that energized the crowd at TD Garden. With Porzingis expected to be out until November or December and Al Horford needing rest, Tillman will play a crucial role in Boston’s frontcourt rotation.
The Celtics have also made moves to retain other key players, such as exercising Sam Hauser’s team option, re-signing Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta, and extending contracts for Jayson Tatum and Derrick White. As the offseason continues
