The Celtics have signed center Luka Garza to a two-year, $5.5 million deal, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
Garza's contract is fully guaranteed and was announced just minutes after Boston's former center Luke Kornet signed a four-year, $41 million deal with the San Antonio Spurs.
The 26-year-old averaged 3.5 points and 1.4 rebounds in 39 games with the Minnesota Timberwolves last season. He played an average of 5.6 minutes per game.
Garza was drafted by the Detroit Pistons in 2021, then became a free agent, and eventually landed with Minnesota in 2022. He played on a two-way contract until 2024, when he the franchise converted him to a standard contract to join the team in the NBA playoffs.
