The Boston Celtics have signed big man Amari Williams to a two way contract

The Boston Celtics have signed former University of Kentucky big man Amari Williams to a two way contract, per a release circulated by the team on Friday (Aug. 15). The Celtics elected to take Williams with the No. 46 overall pick of the 2025 NBA Draft, but a trade made by the team's front office to move veteran forward Georges Niang (and two second round draft picks) into the Utah Jazz' cap space in return for signed two way wing RJ Luis Jr. raised questions about Boston's plans for Williams with forward Miles Norris already under contract along with fellow 2025 second round pick Max Shulga.

The Celtics ultimately decided to move on from Norris, and now Williams officially moves into the two way slot he vacated. "The Nottingham, England, native started in all 36 contests in 2024-25 for the Wildcats, posting averages of 10.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 22.8 minutes per game," writes the Celtics.

Per Boston's official policy, terms of the signing were not disclosed, but barring unforeseen developments, it appears Williams will be suiting up for Boston for at least next season, if not longer.
