Turns out those of us who are fans of Jabari Parker will get to continue cheering for him in a Celtics uniform.

Jabari Parker has agreed on a new deal to re-sign with the Boston Celtics, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Parker cleared waivers at 5 p.m. ET.

By waiving Parker the Celtics risked that another team would pick him up off waivers, but when he passed through the Celtics were able to come to terms with Jabari on a new deal. If you're wondering why Brad Stevens and Boston waived Jabari in the first place, it like many things, was about money.
