The Celtics will reportedly welcome back a familiar face for Wednesday night’s game against the Cavaliers, only it’s someone who hasn’t played for Boston in almost two decades.
Joe Johnson, 40, is signing a 10-day contract with the Celtics, according to ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski. And as Wojnarowski pointed out, Johnson is “expected to play” in Boston’s matchup at TD Garden with Cleveland. The game tips off at 7:30 p.m.
The last time that Johnson played in the NBA was in 2018 with the Rockets. Since that time, he’s featured in the “BIG3” basketball league (a 3-on-3 league founded in 2017 and composed of mostly former NBA players).
