On August 21st, 2018, the Boston Celtics announced that they had signed guard PJ Dozier to a two-way contract. The deal was disclosed weeks ago, but not made official until yesterday’s signing.
Dozier grew up in a basketball family. Perry and Terry Dozier, PJ’s father and uncle, respectively, led Baltimore’s Dunbar High School to a national championship (in case you’re curious, yes, PJ’s first name is Perry).
Both went onto playing at the University of South Carolina. Perry’s playing career was cut short by injury, but Terry had a successful career.
