According to Adrian Wojnarowski, "The deal, which is fully guaranteed, comes with the expectation that Pritchard will have a more significant role off the Celtics' bench this season."

Due to the departures of Marcus Smart and Malcolm Brogdon in the backcourt, Pritchard has an opportunity now to crack into the team's main rotation.
