In Las Vegas, JT is sporting the Jordan Tatum 2 Elite Camp PE! Xavier Tillman of the Celtics signs a two-year contract after winning a championship.

The myriad limitations in the current CBA make it tough to “run it back” in the NBA. Centre Xavier Tillman Sr. appears to have accepted a two-year contract with a minimum wage to stay in Beantown, according to Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe. This means the Boston Celtics have added another player from the 2024 championship team.

After defeating the Dallas Mavericks in five games to end the 2023–24 season, the Celtics were about to lose a number of their top players to free agency. But Tillman, the third-year Celtic Luke Kornet, and adolescent centre Neemias Queta were not free agents for very long. First to sign was Kornet’s one-year contract, followed by Queta’s three-year extension after waiving his team option, then Tillman’s deal with the Green Team on Tuesday afternoon.

When the former big man for the Memphis Grizzlies landed in Boston during the mid-February trade deadline. His compensation was a 26-year-old forward named Lamar Stevens and two second-round picks.

The 25-year-old Tillman’s signing merely strengthened the C’s bench; even before he joined, the squad was a title contender. In 20 games, he averaged 4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1 assist while playing 13.7 minutes per game.
