The Celtics added to their training camp roster on Monday, bringing in a guard with local ties.
According to New York Times Sports’ Adam Zagoria, Boston has signed Roxbury native and former Providence standout A.J. Reeves to an Exhibit 10 deal.
A 6-foot-6-inch shooting guard, Reeves attended Brimmer & May School in Newton before playing at Providence between 2018 and 2022. He appeared in 28 contests (25 starts) last season, averaging 9.9 points per game as the Friars exceeded all expectations and made a run to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.
Reeves struggled with efficiency at times with Providence, but showed flashes of excellent shooting, including a three-game stretch where he shot 17-of-27 from three at the end of last regular season.
