Eastern Kentucky standout Corey Walden, who struggled through Boston's summer league with a hamstring issue, will be joining the team for training camp according to Eric Pincus.
The Celtics signed Walden to a two year deal at the league minimum on Tuesday, guaranteeing him $25,000 and a chance to shoot for a roster spot when camp comes around.
CSNNE's A. Sherrod Blakely had the pushed across news of the signing back on July 25.
While there is unlikely to be room for the 22 year old Walden on the already packed Celtics roster, this deal ensures the intriguing young prospect will have a spot with the Maine Red Claws this year once training camp wraps up.
