Celtics training camp invitee Jake Layman headed to Greece?
Boston Celtics camp invitee Jake Layman may soon be headed to play overseas in Greece according to new reporting from SDNA’s Tolis Kotzias (via BasketNews). Per Kotzias, the Maryland alum may end up playing for Panathinaikos Athens if “nothing changes in the near future,” presumably with regard to an offer by another NBA team to join them for this season.
The potential move to Athens seems to be awaiting only hearing back for certain from whatever NBA ball clubs Layman’s agent may be in conversation with, as “Panathinaikos have already agreed on the financial terms with the player, with Layman also agreeing to move to Europe” according to reports.
The 28-year-old didn’t work out with Boston, his brief appearances in the Celtics’ preseason games largely unimpactful, but over the course of 243 games played across six seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers and Minnesota Timberwolves, the Norwood, Massachusetts native averaged 4.8 points and 1.7 rebounds per game.
