After an active day for the Boston Celtics with the anticipated signing of Danilo Gallinari and the surprise trade for Malcolm Brogdon, the team reached an agreement with center Luke Kornet to return to Boston next season. Chris B. Haynes of Yahoo Sports reported the deal, and the two parties came to terms on a two-year contract; the deal is reportedly for the veteran minimum and partially guaranteed.
Kornet, who turns 27 on July 15th, is entering his sixth season and will provide some end of the bench depth for the Celtics following the multi-player package the team shipped to Indiana for Malcolm Brogdon.
