Celtics Re-Sign Luke Kornet to One-Year Contract: Report

The Boston Celtics have re-signed Luke Kornet to a one-year deal, keeping the “Green Kornet” in Boston for another season. The 7-foot-2 center was a key depth piece for the Celtics last season, averaging 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and one block per game. With Kristaps Porzingis sidelined to start the season due to injury, Kornet is expected to have a more prominent role next season.

Kornet’s re-signing comes as the Celtics have six free agents on the market. Xavier Tillman, Oshae Brissett, Svi Mykhailiuk, JD Davison, Drew Peterson, and Neemias Queta are all either unrestricted or restricted free agents. The Celtics wasted no time in locking in Kornet just as the free agency period began, ensuring continuity and chemistry in their frontcourt for the upcoming season. Kornet’s return will be crucial in providing depth and stability to the Celtics, especially in Porzingis’ absence.
