Celtics News: Brad Wanamaker Re-Signs on 1-Year Contract

Adam WellsJul 2, 2019

There will be one familiar face in the Boston Celtics backcourt next season with the return of Brad Wanamaker.

Per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Wanamaker's agent, Steve McCaskill, said his client agreed to a one-year deal with the Celtics.

Wanamaker was a rookie in Boston last season at the age of 29. He spent six years from 2012 to 2018 playing overseas, winning a Turkish League championship in 2017-18 with Fenerbahce. The Pennsylvania native was named MVP of the Turkish League Finals after leading the team to a 4-1 series win over Tofas.

The Celtics gave Wanamaker a one-year deal to bring him back to the United States. He appeared in 36 games as a rookie, averaging 3.9 points per contest and shooting 47.6 percent from the field.

Boston's front office has started this offseason by remaking the club in free agency. Kemba Walker will be the big addition, replacing Kyrie Irving after agreeing to a four-year, $141 million deal, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Wanamaker will likely serve as the No. 3 point guard in 2019-20 for head coach Brad Stevens, behind Walker and Marcus Smart.
