The details of Stevens’ contract with Boston were not disclosed, according to a release.
Stevens is coming off one of his best seasons in the NBA, averaging 5.3 points and 3.3 rebounds through 62 games played, 25 of which he started.
During his four seasons at Penn State, Stevens averaged 16.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. He was named to the All-Big Ten first team twice and was named the NIT’s Most Outstanding Player in the Nittany Lions’ 2018 NIT Championship victory over Utah.
With less than a week before NBA training camps begin, the four-year veteran joins a loaded Celtics roster led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. The Celtics currently have the second-best odds to win the 2024 NBA Championship, according to The Athletic.
