On July 15th, the Boston Celtics signed Vincent Poirier to a two-year veteran minimum contract ($5.1 million). A late bloomer to the sport of basketball, this is his first time officially making an NBA roster. Poirier was, however, a part of the 2017 Brooklyn Nets summer league team. On this squad, during his four appearances, he averaged only 1.2 points and 5.0 rebounds in 10 minutes of play.
Poirier also saw time on the Orlando Magic summer league roster in 2016 where in 5 games he averaged 4.2 points and 4.4 rebounds in around twelve minutes of action.
