Former Celtics forward gets buyout, allowed to sign with Boston

Former Celtics forward gets buyout,

allowed to sign with Boston

After accepting a buyout, a different

former forward for the Celtics is now a

free agent. After being bought out by the

Pistons, Mike Muscala is now qualified to

play in the postseason for his next team,

as reported by ESPN’s Adrian

Wojnarowski.

According to Wojnarowski, some playoff

teams should show interest in Muscala.

Even though the 32-year-old was traded

by the organization during the offseason,

he is still qualified to join with the

Celtics. The C’s have the option to sign

him because the Wizards traded him to

the Pistons before the deadline.

In 37 games this season with the Pistons

and Wizards, Muscala is averaging 3.8

points and 2.8 rebounds. Although he

might not be the first choice for many

suitors, the big man might offer some

outside shooting and a seasoned

presence in the locker room.

However, Muscala’s signing with the

Celtics is not a given. There is some room

because Boston has an extra roster spot

after the trade deadline. However, the C’s

may wait to fill that roster position until

close to the end of the season, so it’s

unclear right now what they plan to do

with it.

Muscala might possibly be seeking more

of a chance on a playoff club because

playing time in Boston will be scarce.
