After two seasons in green, the diminutive point guard has been waived by the Celtics
With Boston on pace to carry approximately 50 players on their roster for the upcoming season, cuts were inevitable to pare the roster down to the maximum of the 15. Today, the first move was made; the Celtics have waived point guard Phil Pressey.
Today was the deadline for Boston to decide whether or not to fully guarantee Pressey's $947,276 contract for the upcoming year, and they have made their decision to part with the Missouri product. Given the number of players that the Celtics have on guaranteed contracts, and their current glut of point guards, this is a move that made sense from a management perspective.
