The Boston Celtics have announced the waiving of their 2024 draft pick, Anton Watson, a decision following their recent 110-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets. Watson, selected 54th overall from Gonzaga, spent the majority of his time with the Maine Celtics in the G League, where he averaged 12.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists, showcasing his potential but failing to secure a spot in the NBA regular season.

This move clears the way for the Celtics to add another two-way player before the March 4 signing deadline, with options including Drew Peterson or JD Davison. Currently boasting one of the league's best records at 43-18, the Celtics are primed for a title run, noted for ranking highly in multiple statistical categories, including points per game and defensive metrics.
