The Boston Celtics have successfully navigated the offseason by avoiding the NBA's second tax apron, allowing them to focus on retaining key players like Al Horford and Luke Kornet. With JD Davison's future being uncertain, the team has decided to keep him by exercising his non-guaranteed option worth $2.27 million, preserving flexibility for potential trades or waivers. Davison had a standout season in the G League, averaging impressive stats. His retained status does not guarantee his permanence in Boston, with reports indicating that the Celtics may still explore options involving his contract.
