Former Boston big man Noah Vonleh reportedly signs with CBA’s Shanghai Sharks
Former Boston Celtics big man Noah Vonleh has become the next Celtics alum to find themselves a new home playing overseas. Per Alberto De Roa of HoopsHype, Vonleh has signed a new deal with the Chinese Basketball Association’s (CBA) Shanghai Sharks, with whom the Indiana alum also played for during the 2021-22 season.
Vonleh’s 2022-23 season saw him sign with Boston as a depth big man and play a total of 23 games for the Celtics, over the course of which he put up 1.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per game while shooting 45.8% from the field overall and 25.0% from beyond the 3-point line.
Vonleh would be dealt by Boston from the Celtics to the San Antonio Spurs with cash to cover his remaining salary for a protected second-round pick and a traded exception, who subsequently waived the Salem native.
It may be the dog days of August in the NBA’s 2023 offseason, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have plenty of Boston Celtics-related things to talk about. https://t.co/9D3kRmYsql
