Boston Celtics to reportedly waive camp invitee Luka Samanic
With the news that the Boston Celtics had signed Providence College product AJ Reeves to a training camp deal comes bad news for another player, the team needing to make space on the maxed-out 20-man camp roster that Reeves would need an open spot to join.
That unlucky soul was forward Luka Samanic, who is reportedly expected to join the (Portland) Maine Celtics for the coming 2022-23 G League season after being cut following a stint playing for Boston’s training camp team per The Athletic’s Jared Weiss. The Croatian forward struggled in his limited minutes playing for Boston, averaging just a point and 2.5 rebounds per game in preseason action with the Celtics in two appearances with the team.
The 6-foot-10 Zagreb native might yet latch on in the NBA with enough experience under his belt to get the game to slow down at that level given he logged an impressive 26 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and a steal with the Westchester Knicks last season.
