Bassey has averaged 4.3 points on 63 percent shooting from the field and 4.3 rebounds in 11.1 minutes during five combined NBA seasons with the Spurs, Grizzlies and 76ers, per HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto.
With the Celtics navigating a fractured finger to Nikola Vuvecic, the Bassey move adds immediate rim protection and rebounding help off the bench. Bassey’s efficiency near the basket makes him a reliable short-term option capable of stepping in. He played on Boston’s most recent summer league team, so he’s familiar with the organization.
