The Celtics announced they waived two-way player Miles Norris on Sunday. Norris, a 25-year-old forward they signed in March, was entering his second season with the team.
The announcement came just a few days after undrafted rookie RJ Luis was traded to the Celtics from the Utah Jazz for Georges Niang and two second-round picks. Luis was already on a two-way contract with the Jazz, so it appeared likely that either Norris or Luis would be waived to clear space to sign rookie Amari Williams.
The 25-year-old Norris averaged 14.5 points and 6.3 rebounds for the Maine Celtics last year and appeared in three regular-season games with the Celtics. But, he had a lackluster showing at Summer League, averaging 9.3 points on 36.8% shooting, including 25% from three.
Max Shulga, RJ Luis, and Amari Williams will presumably be the Celtics’ three two-way players
The Celtics now have Max Shulga and RJ Luis both under contract as two-way players. Shulga signed his two-way contract late last month, after a strong career at VCU. Luis, meanwhile, averaged 18.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game as St. John’s last season.
Amari Williams, who was drafted by the Celtics with the 46th overall pick, will presumably be the third two-way player, though he has not officially signed with the team.
