Gabriel's strong play for South Sudan in the FIBA World Cup this summer helped secure the team's first-ever spot in the 2024 Olympics. Gabriel averaged 9.2 points and 6.8 rebounds for South Sudan, and has worked out for the Celtics in Boston in recent weeks. https://t.co/8etl9lFNRo

With only a training camp invite there are no guarantees obviously for Gabriel and this signing doesn't preclude the Celtics from adding another big.
