Celtics camp invitee Jake Layman finds home for 2022-23 season with Spain’s Bàsquet Manresa
Boston Celtics 2022 training camp invitee Jake Layman has found himself a home for the 2022-23 season, with HoopsHype’s Alberto De Roa reporting that the Maryland alumnus has signed a deal to play for Spain’s Bàsquet Manresa, S.A.D. of the Liga ACB and Basketball Champions Leagues.
Located in the Spanish city of the same name, Layman will not be the first NBAer to play for the team, which has previously rostered the likes of Serge Ibaka, Derrick Alston, and even Hall of Famer George Gervin in what is considered the highest level of play in Spain and among the best in Europe’s national leagues.
The Layman era with the Celtics was a short one in terms of on-court play, with the Norwood, Massachusetts native playing a mere two contests for Boston in preseason play.
The Fenway Sports Group is reportedly selling Liverpool FC, and Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca may be a name to keep an eye on. https://t.co/FpQYPRN9tC

Over that stretch, Layman logged 4.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game while shooting a regrettable 28.6% from the field and 33.3% from beyond the arc.
