Another member of the 2024 NBA champion Boston Celtics has left the team in free agency.<\/p>\n

Forward Drew Peterson, who entered this offseason as a restricted free agent, has agreed to a two-way contract with the Charlotte Hornets, his agents confirmed to ESPN’s Shams Charania<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Peterson spent the last two seasons on a two-way deal with the Celtics, appearing in just three games during the 2023-24 campaign while spending most of the season in the G League with the Maine Celtics. He saw more opportunity last season, however, playing in 25 games for Boston’s parent club and averaging 2.2 points over 7.4 minutes per game in those appearances.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Peterson is an excellent 3-point shooter who has shot 42.1 percent from distance over 28 NBA games. He’ll reunite in Charlotte with former Celtics assistant Charles Lee, who took over as Hornets head coach last season.<\/p>\n

While Peterson showed some promise in Boston, his departure seemed likely after the Celtics reportedly signed both of their second-round picks in the 2025 NBA Draft — big man Amari Williams and guard Max Shulga — to two-way deals. Forward Miles Norris also is on a two-way deal with Boston, meaning the team has no more open two-way slots.<\/p>\n

Peterson joins Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and Luke Kornet among the players leaving the Celtics this offseason, while veteran Al Horford is expected to depart in free agency as well<\/a>. If Horford signs elsewhere, forward Torrey Craig would be Boston’s final unsigned free agent.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another member of the 2024 NBA champion Boston Celtics has left the team in free agency.
